Hipposideros Brachyotus
''Hipposideros'' is one of the most diverse genera of bats, with more than 70 species. They are collectively called roundleaf bats after the shape of their nasal ornament. It is the type genus of the family Hipposideridae. It is divided into species groups based on morphology. Some species that were previously placed in ''Hipposideros'' are now placed in the related genera '' Doryrhina'' and '' Macronycteris''. Conversely, the genus ''Paracoelops'', which was considered distinct until 2012, is now synonymized with ''Hipposideros'', as the only species turned out to be based on a specimen of '' Hipposideros pomona''.

Fawn Leaf-nosed Bat
The fawn leaf-nosed bat (''Hipposideros cervinus'') is a species of bat in the family Hipposideridae found in Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vanuatu. Taxonomy The species was first described by John Gould in his Mammals of Australia (Gould), Mammals of Australia (1854), the author assigning it to the genus ''Rhinolophus'' with some hesitation. The specimens referred to by Gould and subsequent authors were obtained at Cape York Peninsula and Albany Island (Pabaju) at the northeast of Australia. A taxonomic treatment in a new generic combination, as a subspecies of ''Hipposideros galeritus'', was published in a revision of the genus a century later by J. E. Hill, part of his extensive work on the systematics of the order Chiroptera. The species-complex of ''H. galeritus'' and other Australopapuan taxa of ''Hipposideros'' was again reviewed by Hill and Paulina D. Jenkins in 1981, attempting to resolve what emerged as polyphyletic descriptions. These authors publ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
