GENUS Lasiurus

Author:Gray, 1831.
Citation:Zool. Misc., 1: 38.
Type Species:Vespertilio borealis Müller, 1776.
Comments:Treated under the name Nycteris by Hall (1981). In Opinion 111 of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (1929b), Lasiurus was adopted rather than Nycteris. Atalapha was used for this genus until the early 20th century, when application of the name to bats now included in Lasiurus was shown to date from Peters, not Rafinesque (Hall and Jones, 1961). Includes Dasypterus; see Hall and Jones (1961). Two subgenera are recognized, Lasiurus and Dasypterus. Keys to the genus were presented by Hall and Jones (1961) and Shump and Shump (1982a); see also Handley (1996). Species groups in the subgenus Lasiurus generally follow results of Morales and Bickham (1995).
