 * Thanks for the review! I'll apply any changes here also to the four other articles on former manavi bats, which are very similar. Ucucha 09:42, 4 August 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm curious, why link Madagascar but not Comoros? I'd link both as the latter is pretty esoteric...
 * Possibly because Anjouan is already linked. But that's not a very strong argument, and I'll add a link.


 *  have resulted in the recognition of much hidden diversity in bats of the genus Miniopterus -ooh, a bit ungainly. I think it can be reworded better but an alternative doesn't immediately spring to mind. I had a go.
 * Much better.


 * I am presuming this is another species about which little is known about diet, reproduction and social behaivour...?
 * Yes. A specific problem is that anything published before 2009 is likely to refer to a mixture of aelleni, griveaudi, brachytragos, and perhaps another species that hasn't been named yet. Ucucha 09:46, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, then is it possible to discuss that at all? i.e. mention any data but warn that it applies to all species maybe?
 * I plan to cover that in an overview article on Malagasy Miniopterus. I think it's better placed there, as no one has actually linked those data to aelleni. Ucucha 17:44, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
