WEpomophorinae is a subfamily of megabat. It was established as a subfamily in 1997. Epomophorine bats are found only in Africa.
WThe megabat tribe Macroglossini is within the subfamily Pteropodinae
WMicrobats constitute the suborder Microchiroptera within the order Chiroptera (bats). Bats have long been differentiated into Megachiroptera (megabats) and Microchiroptera, based on their size, the use of echolocation by the Microchiroptera and other features; molecular evidence suggests a somewhat different subdivision, as the microbats have been shown to be a paraphyletic group.
WNoctilionoidea is a superfamily of bats containing seven families: Thyropteridae, Furipteridae, Noctilionidae, Mormoopidae, Phyllostomidae, Myzopodidae, and Mystacinidae.
WThe Pteropodinae are a subfamily of megabats. Taxa within this subfamily are:Genus Acerodon Sulawesi flying fox, A. celebensis Talaud flying fox, A. humilis Giant golden-crowned flying fox, A. jubatus Palawan fruit bat, A. leucotis Sunda flying fox, A. mackloti Genus Desmalopex White-winged flying fox, D. leucopterus Small white-winged flying fox, D. microleucopterus Genus Eidolon — straw-coloured fruit bats Madagascan fruit bat, E. dupreanum Straw-coloured fruit bat, E. helvum Genus Mirimiri Fijian monkey-faced bat, M. acrodonta Genus Neopteryx Small-toothed fruit bat, N. frosti Genus Pteralopex - flying monkeys Bougainville monkey-faced bat, P. anceps Guadalcanal monkey-faced bat, P. atrata Greater monkey-faced bat, P. flanneryi Montane monkey-faced bat, P. pulchra New Georgian monkey-faced bat, P. taki Genus Pteropus — flying foxes P. alecto species group Black flying fox, P. alecto P. caniceps species group Ashy-headed flying fox, P. caniceps P. chrysoproctus species group Silvery flying fox, P. argentatus Moluccan flying fox, P. chrysoproctus Makira flying fox, P. cognatus Banks flying fox, P. fundatus Solomons flying fox, P. rayneri Rennell flying fox, P. rennelli P. conspicillatus species group Spectacled flying fox, P. conspicillatus Ceram fruit bat, P. ocularis P. livingstonii species group Aru flying fox, P. aruensis Kei flying fox, P. keyensis Livingstone's fruit bat, P. livingstonii Black-bearded flying fox, P. melanopogon P. mariannus species group Okinawa flying fox, P. loochoensis Mariana fruit bat, P. mariannus Pelew flying fox, P. pelewensis Kosrae flying fox, P. ualanus Yap flying fox, P. yapensis P. melanotus species group Black-eared flying fox, P. melanotus P. molossinus species group Lombok flying fox, P. lombocensis Caroline flying fox, P. molossinus Rodrigues flying fox, P. rodricensis P. neohibernicus species group Great flying fox, P. neohibernicus P. niger species group Aldabra flying fox, P. aldabrensis Mauritian flying fox, P. niger Madagascan flying fox, P. rufus Seychelles fruit bat, P. seychellensis Pemba flying fox, P. voeltzkowi P. personatus species group Bismark masked flying fox, P. capistratus Masked flying fox, Pteropus personatus Temminck's flying fox, P. temminckii P. poliocephalus species group Big-eared flying fox, P. macrotis Geelvink Bay flying fox, P. pohlei Grey-headed flying fox, P. poliocephalus P. pselaphon species group Chuuk flying fox, P. insularis Temotu flying fox, P. nitendiensis Large Palau flying fox, P. pilosus Bonin flying fox, P. pselaphon Guam flying fox, P. tokudae Insular flying fox, P. tonganus Vanikoro flying fox, P. tuberculatus New Caledonia flying fox, P. vetulus P. samoensis species group Vanuatu flying fox, P. anetianus Samoa flying fox, P. samoensis P. scapulatus species group Gilliard's flying fox, P. gilliardorum Lesser flying fox, P. mahaganus Little red flying fox, P. scapulatus Dwarf flying fox, P. woodfordi P. subniger species group Admiralty flying fox, P. admiralitatum Dusky flying fox, P. brunneus Ryukyu flying fox, P. dasymallus Nicobar flying fox, P. faunulus Gray flying fox, P. griseus Ontong Java flying fox, P. howensis Small flying fox, P. hypomelanus Ornate flying fox, P. ornatus Little golden-mantled flying fox, P. pumilus Philippine gray flying fox, P. speciosus Small Mauritian flying fox, P. subniger P. vampyrus species group Indian flying fox, P. giganteus Andersen's flying fox, P. intermedius Lyle's flying fox, P. lylei Large flying fox, P. vampyrus incertae sedis Small Samoan flying fox, P. allenorum Large Samoan flying fox, P. coxi Genus Styloctenium Mindoro stripe-faced fruit bat, S. mindorensis Sulawesi stripe-faced fruit bat, S. wallacei
WRhinolophoidea is a superfamily of bats. It contains the following families: Craseonycteridae, Hipposideridae, Megadermatidae, Rhinolophidae, Rhinonycteridae, and Rhinopomatidae. It is one of two superfamilies that comprise the suborder Yinpterochiroptera, the other being Pteropodoidea, which only contains the family Pteropodidae.
WThe Vespertilioninae are a subfamily of vesper bats from the family Vespertilionidae.
WVespertilionoidea is a superfamily of bats containing five families: Cistugidae, Miniopteridae, Molossidae, Natalidae, and Vespertilionidae. It is one of three superfamilies in the suborder Yangochiroptera, the others being Noctilionoidea and Emballonuroidea.
WYangochiroptera, or Vespertilioniformes, is a suborder of Chiroptera that includes most of the microbat families, except the Rhinopomatidae, Rhinolophidae, Hipposideridae, and Megadermatidae. These other families, plus the megabats, are seen as part of another suborder, the Yinpterochiroptera.
WThe Yinpterochiroptera is a suborder of the Chiroptera, which includes taxa formerly known as megabats and five of the microbat families: Rhinopomatidae, Rhinolophidae, Hipposideridae, Craseonycteridae, and Megadermatidae. This suborder is primarily based on molecular genetics data. This proposal challenged the traditional view that megabats and microbats form monophyletic groups of bats. Further studies are being conducted, using both molecular and morphological cladistic methodology, to assess its merit.
