Remarks. — Stephens (1900) selected as the holotype of Myotis californicus pallidus a specimen (male, original number 2498, F. Stephens) from Vallecito, California (now USNM 99829). The holotype has had a rather involved history, reviewed by Poole and Schantz (1942:151). Dalquest (1946) noted that the name pallidus was preoccupied in Myotis and proposed the epithet stephensi as a replacement name. He then proceeded to redescribe the subspecies, designating as the "type" a different specimen (female, original number 3493, F. Stephens, now MVZ 16657), also from Vallecito, San Diego Co., California. The holotype so designated by Dalquest (op. cit.) has no status under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, Art. 72(d). In a number of cases, Coloradan specimens of Myotis leibii have been reported in the lit- erature as M. californicus. These include specimens from 7 mi. E of Antonito (Cary, 1907a: 27); Van Andert's Spring, Little Foun- tain Creek, and Salida (Warren, 1910b:274); and Marchioness Tunnel, Boulder Canyon (Cary, 1911:208). Identification of the specimen listed below from Fruita (CU, uncatalogued) is tentative; the skull was not found. External measure- ments are: 79, 42, 8, 14, The specimen is slightly more reddish than an undoubted specimen of M. californicus from Bedrock (WC3016).
