Macronycteris

	Macronycteris ''Macronycteris'' is a genus of bats belonging to the family Hipposideridae The Hipposideridae are a family of bats commonly known as the Old World leaf-nosed bats. While it has often been seen as a subfamily, Hipposiderinae, of the family Rhinolophidae, it is now more generally classified as its own family.Simmons, 20 ....

	Macronycteris Commersoni Commerson's roundleaf bat (''Macronycteris commersoni''), also known as Commerson's leaf-nosed bat, is a species of bat endemic to Madagascar. It is named after French naturalist Philibert Commerson (1727-1773). Bat populations of Africa or São Tomé and Príncipe formerly considered part of this species are now classified separately as '' M. gigas'', '' M. thomensis'' or '' M. vattatus'', while one from Madagascar was split off to become '' M. cryptovalorona''. It was formerly placed in the genus ''Hipposideros'', but moved to the resurrected ''Macronycteris'' in 2017 on the basis of molecular evidence. Distribution and habitat The species is found in forests of several types on Madagascar, including dry deciduous forest, littoral forest and gallery forest, at elevations from sea level to at least 1350 m. It roosts in caves, on mature trees and in buildings. While its habitat is largely intact forest, it sometimes feeds near or in villages. Biology Commerson's roundleaf bat ...

picture info	Hipposideridae The Hipposideridae are a family of bats commonly known as the Old World leaf-nosed bats. While it has often been seen as a subfamily, Hipposiderinae, of the family Rhinolophidae, it is now more generally classified as its own family.Simmons, 2005, p. 365 Nevertheless, it is most closely related to Rhinolophidae within the suborder Yinpterochiroptera. Taxonomy The Hipposideridae contain 10 living genera and more than 70 species, mostly in the widespread genus ''Hipposideros''. In addition, several fossil genera are known; the oldest fossils attributed to the family are from the middle Eocene of Europe. In their 1997 ''Classification of Mammals'', Malcolm C. McKenna and Susan K. Bell proposed a division of Hipposideridae (called Rhinonycterinae in their work) into three tribes, one with two subtribes, but these tribes turned out to be non- monophyletic and have been abandoned. A different classification was proposed by Hand and Kirsch in 2003. In 2009, Petr Benda and Peter Vallo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Macronycteris Gigas The giant roundleaf bat (''Macronycteris gigas'') is a species of bat in the family Hipposideridae found in western tropical Africa. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and caves. The species was formerly considered part of '' M. commersoni'', which is now viewed as being restricted to Madagascar. Both ''commersoni'' and it were formerly placed in the genus ''Hipposideros'', but moved to the resurrected ''Macronycteris'' in 2017 on the basis of molecular evidence. It is threatened by habitat loss Habitat destruction (also termed habitat loss and habitat reduction) is the process by which a natural habitat becomes incapable of supporting its native species.

	Macronycteris Vittatus The striped leaf-nosed bat (''Macronycteris vittatus'') is a species of bat native to eastern and southern Africa. It was formerly considered part of '' M. commersoni'', which is now viewed as being restricted to Madagascar. Both ''commersoni'' and it were formerly placed in the genus ''Hipposideros'', but moved to the resurrected ''Macronycteris'' in 2017 on the basis of molecular evidence. Distribution and habitat The striped leaf-nosed bat can be found primarily in eastern and southern Africa. In east Africa, the species ranges from Ethiopia and Somalia, through Kenya, and to Zambia and Mozambique. In the south, the species appears in Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Namibia. However, smaller populations are also scattered throughout west and central Africa, in Angola, Central African Republic, eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, Guinea and Nigeria. The striped leaf-nosed bat can be found locally within caves and occasionally, roosting in trees and under the eaves of buildings. T ...
