FAMILY Nycteridae

Author:Van der Hoeven, 1855.
Citation:Handb. Dierkunde, 2nd ed., 2: 1028.
Comments:Monogeneric; see Griffiths (1994) for a phylogeny. Although some authors have indicated that family-group names based on the greek root -nycteris should be spelled -nycterididae (e.g., Russell and Sigé 1970; Habersetzer and Storch, 1987; Kock et al., 2002), I prefer to maintain the commonly accepted spelling (-nycteridae) for these names in the interests of stability (see discussion in Simmons and Geisler [1998: footnote 13]). Accordingly, I use "Nycteridae" for this family instead of "Nycterididae".
