GENUS Rousettus
| Author: | Gray, 1821. | | Citation: | London Med. Repos., 15: 299. | | Type Species: | Pteropus aegyptiacus E. Geoffroy, 1810. | | Comments: | Does not include Lissonycteris (Bergmans, 1994, 1997; Juste et al., 1997; Peterson et al., 1995). Revised by Bergmans (1994); also see Peterson et al. (1995). A key to the genus was provided by Kwiecinski and Griffiths (1999), however, this genus includes at least one undescribed species. Three subgenera are often recognized (Rousettus, Boneia, and Stenonycteris), although see Bergmans (1994), who rejected use of subgenera for the African species. |
