Emballonurinae Gervais 1855

Description

Emballonurinae Gervais 1855

Emballonurinae Gervais 1855, in: F. Comte de Castelnau, Exped. Partes Cen. Am. Sud., Zool. (Sec. 7), Vol. 1, pt. 2 (Mammiferes): 62 footnote.

Genera: 11 genera with 33 species:

Genus Balantiopteryx Peters 1867 (3 species with 2 subspecies)

Genus Centronycteris Gray 1838 (2 species)

Genus Coleura Peters 1867 (2 species with 2 subspecies)

Genus Cormura Peters 1867 (1 species)

Genus Cyttarops Thomas 1913 (1 species)

Genus Diclidurus Wied-Neuwied 1819 (4 species with 2 subspecies)

Genus Emballonura Temminck 1838 (9 species with 17 subspecies)

Genus Mosia Gray 1843 (1 species with 3 subspecies)

Genus Peropteryx Peters 1867 (4 species with 6 subspecies)

Genus Rhynchonycteris Peters 1867 (1 species)

Genus Saccopteryx Illiger 1811 (5 species with 2 subspecies)

Discussion: McKenna and Bell (1997) divided this subfamily into two tribes, Emballonurini Gervais, 1855 (Mosia, Emballonura, Coleura) and Diclidurini Gray, 1866 (Neotropical emballonurids). However, both of these groups may be paraphyletic as so defined (Dunlop, 1998). Accordingly, I do not recognize tribes within Emballonurinae at this time. For a key to Neotropical species see Jones and Hood (1993).
