Plecotini Gray 1866

Description

Plecotini Gray 1866

Plecotini Gray 1866, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 3, 17: 90.

Genera: 6 genera with 16 species:

Genus Barbastella Gray 1821 (2 species with 4 subspecies)

Genus Corynorhinus H. Allen 1865 (3 species with 7 subspecies)

Genus Euderma H. Allen 1892 (1 species)

Genus Idionycteris Anthony 1923 (1 species)

Genus Otonycteris Peters 1859 (1 species)

Genus Plecotus E. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire 1818 (8 species with 11 subspecies)

Discussion: Apparently includes Otonycteris; see Qumsiyeh and Bickham (1993) and Bogdanowicz et al. (1998), although also see Pine et al. (1971) and Hoofer and Van Den Bussche (2001). For phylogenies also see Tumlison and Douglas (1992) and Frost and Timm (1992). See Frost and Timm (1992) for generic diagnoses, but note that they included Idionycteris in Euderma.
