discussion
Discussion: Subgenus Rousettus. Includes seminudus; see Sinha (1970). See Peterson et al. (1995) for a discussion of shortridgei. Kock et al. (2000 b) treated shortridgei as a distinct species without comment. Reviewed in part by Bates and Harrison (1997) and Kock et al. (2000 b). This name is sometimes spelled leschenaulti (e. g., Koopman, 1993, 1994), but I prefer the original spelling.
