GENUS Nyctimene
Author: | Borkhausen, 1797. | Citation: | Deutsche Fauna, 1: 86. | Type Species: | Vespertilio cephalotes Pallas, 1767. | Comments: | Reviewed by Smith and Hood (1983) and Bergmans (2001). Bergmans (2001) proposed inclusion of Paranyctimene as a subgenus of Nyctimene, but I retain Paranyctimene as a distinct genus pending phylogenetic studies of relationships of these taxa (see comments under Paranyctimene). Species groups follow Bergmans (2001). |
