GENUS Mimon
Author: | Gray, 1847. | Citation: | Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1847: 14. | Type Species: | Phyllostoma bennettii Gray, 1838. | Comments: | Does not include Anthorhina, a name that is actually a junior synonym of Tonatia (see Gardner and Ferrell [1990] and Article 67.8 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature [International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, 1999]) despite its frequent use as a subgenus of Mimon following Handley (1960). The nominate subgenus of Mimon includes bennettii and cozumelae; the other subgenus (formerly called Anthorhina) includes crenulatum and koepckeae, but there is presently no valid name for this subgenus. |
