Saccolaimus
''Saccolaimus'' is a genus of the family Emballonuridae, small insectivorous bats with distinctive sheathtails and pouches at the wrist. The species have been placed with genus ''Taphozous'', in subgenus ''Taphozous'', although an elevation to genus accords with a 1991 revision of Australian emballonurids. The type species is ''Taphozous saccolaimus'', published by Coenraad Jacob Temminck in 1838, elevated as generic combination ''Saccolaimus saccolaimus'' in this arrangement. The genus also follows Temminck's description of that species. A revision by George Dobson in 1876 erected the genus name ''Taphonycteris'', once recognised and later suppressed as a synonym to give priority to Temminck's earlier description. A key to the genus was provided in its 1991 revision by Christian Chimimba and Darrell Kitchener. The genus ''Saccolaimus'' Temminck, 1838 contains the following taxa: * species '' Saccolaimus flaviventris'' (Peters, 1867). yellow-bellied pouched or sheath-tailed ba ...

Saccolaimus Flaviventris
The yellow-bellied sheath-tailed bat (''Saccolaimus flaviventris''), also known as the yellow-bellied sheathtail or yellow-bellied pouched bat, is a microbat species of the family Emballonuridae found extensively in Australia and less commonly in parts of Papua New Guinea.Flannery, T. F. 1995. ''The Mammals of New Guinea'', 2nd edition. Reed Books, Sydney, Australia.Churchill, Sue. 2008. ''Australian bats'', 2nd ed. Allen & Unwin, Crows Nest, NSW. Although found throughout most parts of Australia, very little is known about its ecology due to the small size, nocturnal activity, and general elusiveness of most microbat species, making them difficult to study.Rhodes, M.

Saccolaimus Mixtus
The Papuan sheath-tailed bat (''Saccolaimus mixtus'') is a species of bat in the family Emballonuridae which occurs at the Cape York Peninsula and New Guinea. The poorly known species hunts in open forests for night flying insects. Taxonomy The first description was published by Ellis Le Geyt Troughton in 1925. Troughton found features typical of the genus, but notes the clearly defined wing pouches that characteristic of the genus ''Taphozous''; the author makes reference to a note by Edward Ramsay in 1878 on an undiagnosed species of that genus which resembled specimens found at Cape York. Troughton describes the holotype, a male, and two other specimens, a series purchased from Kendal Broadbent who had obtained them at Port Moresby in 1878. The name was assessed in a revision of the genus in 1991, replacing the previously recognised combination ''Taphozous mixtus'' (Troughton) 1925. The number of specimens available has been limited to another two collected before 1973 in New ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Emballonuridae
Emballonuridae is a family of microbats, many of which are referred to as sac-winged or sheath-tailed bats. They are widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. The earliest fossil records are from the Eocene. Description The emballonurids include some of the smallest of all bats, and range from 3.5 to 10 cm in body length. They are generally brown or grey, although the species of genus ''Diclidurus'' are white. The faces are said to be handsome, the heads being comparable to those of domestic dogs, and their wings are long and narrow. As with other microchiropteran families, they use ultrasonic echolocation to sense the surrounding environment and their prey; the signals of some species are unusual in being audible to humans. Possession of the postorbital processes, the reduced, noncontacting premaxillaries, and rather simple shoulder and elbow joints, which is similar to pteropodids, makes them rather a primitive group. However, they are mo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bat Genera
Bats are mammals of the order Chiroptera.''cheir'', "hand" and πτερόν''pteron'', "wing". With their forelimbs adapted as wings, they are the only mammals capable of true and sustained flight. Bats are more agile in flight than most birds, flying with their very long spread-out digits covered with a thin membrane or patagium. The smallest bat, and arguably the smallest extant mammal, is Kitti's hog-nosed bat, which is in length, across the wings and in mass. The largest bats are the flying foxes, with the giant golden-crowned flying fox, ''Acerodon jubatus'', reaching a weight of and having a wingspan of . The second largest order of mammals after rodents, bats comprise about 20% of all classified mammal species worldwide, with over 1,400 species. These were traditionally divided into two suborders: the largely fruit-eating megabats, and the echolocating microbats. But more recent evidence has supported dividing the order into Yinpterochiroptera and Yangochiropter ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
