GENUS Eptesicus
| Author: | Rafinesque, 1820. | | Citation: | Ann. Nature: 2. | | Type Species: | Eptesicus melanops Rafinesque, 1820 (= Vespertilio fuscus Beauvois, 1796). | | Comments: | Middle and South American species reviewed by W. B. Davis (1965, 1966). Indomalayan species reviewed by Corbet and Hill (1992). Definition and content discussed by Horacek and Hanák (1985-1986), Hill and Harrison (1987), Menu (1987), Heller and Volleth (1994), and Kearney et al. (2002). Does not include Vespadelus; see Kitchener et al. (1987), Volleth and Tidemann (1991), and Volleth and Heller (1994). Does not include Arielulus; see Csorba and Lee (1991). Does not include Neoromicia; see Volleth et al. (2001) and Kearney et al. (2002). Two subgenera are recognized here, Eptesicus and Rhinopterus. Some authors have recognized several subgenera from among the taxa here included in the subgenus Eptesicus (e.g., Horácek et al. [2000] used Amblyotus and Rhyneptesicus as subgenera), but I prefer to retain a more conservative usage pending a thorough revision of the genus. |
