Paratriaenops
''Paratriaenops'' is a genus in the bat family Hipposideridae. It is classified in the tribe Triaenopini, along with the closely related genus ''Triaenops'' and perhaps the poorly known '' Cloeotis''. The species of ''Paratriaenops'' were placed in ''Triaenops'' until 2009. ''Paratriaenops'' currently contains the following species: *'' Paratriaenops auritus'' *'' Paratriaenops furcula'' *''Paratriaenops pauliani'' ''P auritus'' and ''P. furcula'' are found on Madagascar, ''P. pauliani'' in the Seychelles. The species ''Triaenops goodmani'' was described from subfossil material on Madagascar in 2007, before ''Paratriaenops'' was erected, but was not considered in the revision that split the genus.Samonds, 2007; Benda and Vallo, 2009 See also *List of bats of Madagascar Bats are one of the major components of the indigenous mammalian fauna of Madagascar, in addition to tenrecs, lemurs, euplerid carnivores, and nesomyine rodents.

Grandidier's Trident Bat
Grandidier's trident bat (''Paratriaenops auritus'') is a species of bat in the family Hipposideridae endemic to Madagascar. It was formerly assigned to the genus ''Triaenops'', but is now placed in the separate genus ''Paratriaenops''. Taxonomy Guillaume Grandidier first described the species in 1912, as ''Triaenops aurita'', on the basis of a single poorly preserved specimen collected at Diégo-Suarez (now Antsiranana) in northernmost Madagascar. In his 1939 list of African mammals, Glover Morrill Allen placed the species as a synonym (taxonomy), synonym of ''Triaenops furcula'' (now ''Paratriaenops furcula'') of western Madagascar,Allen, 1939, p. 82 and in his 1948 review of the genus ''Triaenops'', Jean Dorst concurred, as did John Edwards Hill, who reviewed the genus in 1982.Ranivo and Goodman, 2006, p. 964 In their 1995 study of Madagascar bats, however, R.L. Peterson and colleagues reinstated it as a species. They also changed the specific name (zoology), specific ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Triaenops Goodmani
''Triaenops goodmani'' is an extinct bat from Madagascar in the genus ''Triaenops''. It is known from three lower jaws collected in a cave at Anjohibe in 1996, and described as a new species in 2007. The material is at most 10,000 years old. A bat humerus (upper arm bone) from the same site could not be identified as either ''T. goodmani'' or the living '' T. menamena''. ''T. goodmani'' is identifiable as a member of ''Triaenops'' or the related genus '' Paratriaenops'' by a number of features of the teeth, such as the single-cusped, canine-like fourth premolar and the presence of a gap between the entoconid and hypoconulid cusps on the first two molars. ''T. goodmani'' is larger than the living species of ''Triaenops'' and ''Paratriaenops'' on Madagascar, and on the first molar the protoconid cusp is only slightly higher than the hypoconid, not much higher as in the other species.

Paratriaenops Furcula
''Paratriaenops furcula'', also known as Trouessart's trident bat, is a species of bat in the family Hipposideridae. It is endemic to Madagascar. It was formerly assigned to the genus ''Triaenops'', but is now placed in the separate genus ''Paratriaenops''. A related species, ''Paratriaenops pauliani ''Paratriaenops pauliani'' is a species of bat in the family Hipposideridae.

Paratriaenops Pauliani
''Paratriaenops pauliani'' is a species of bat in the family Hipposideridae. It is endemic to Aldabra Atoll of the western Seychelles, where it was found on Picard Island. It was formerly considered to be part of the species ''Triaenops furculus'', known from Madagascar, and was initially assigned as a new species within the genus ''Triaenops''. Later it as well as ''T. furculus'' were placed in the separate genus ''Paratriaenops''. A related species, ''Paratriaenops auritus'', also of Madagascar, was similarly reassigned. While its conservation status has not been formally assessed, given its small range and presumed small population, it is thought to be precarious, possibly critically endangered. Reports of ''P. pauliani'' from Cosmoledo Atoll east of Aldabra are believed to be erroneous descriptions of individuals actually collected on Picard Island.

List Of Bats Of Madagascar
Bats are one of the major components of the indigenous mammalian fauna of Madagascar, in addition to tenrecs, lemurs, euplerid carnivores, and nesomyine rodents. Forty-six bat species have so far been recorded on Madagascar, of which thirty-six occur only on the island. However, new species continue to be discovered, causing the number of species to rise rapidly; for example, Nick Garbutt's ''Mammals of Madagascar'' (2007) listed only 36 species. Most Malagasy bats have their origins in nearby mainland Africa, but on at least three occasions—'' Pipistrellus raceyi'', '' Pteropus rufus'', and the species pair '' Emballonura atrata– E. tiavato''—bats have colonized Madagascar from Asia. Taxonomic classification The following bat genera and families include species found on Madagascar (all species counts are for Madagascar only): *Family Pteropodidae (3 endemic species) **Genus '' Eidolon'' (1 endemic species) **Genus ''Pteropus'' (1 endemic species) **Genus ''Rousettus'' (1 ...

Triaenopini
Rhinonycteridae is a family of bats, within the suborder Yinpterochiroptera. The type species, the orange nose-leafed species group '' Rhinonicteris aurantia'', is found across the north of Australia. Description The family accords with the description to the type genus '' Rhinonicteris'', and its classification of the morphology of the rhinarium. The revision of Hill in 1982 follows Gray to describe the features of the nose-leaf for the subfamilial group, and these provide diagnosis to distinguish the species from other families. Molecular analysis also provides a distinctive retrotransposon insertion expressed in a gene fragment. Taxonomy The alliance resurrects John Edward Gray's 1866 arrangement of known microbat taxa, first published as subtribe Rhinonycterina, and elevating this to the rank of family. The taxon combined the poorly known genera '' Cloeotis'' and ''Triaenops'' in a 1982 revision that compared the nose-leaf morphology of the species. This name was again pr ...

Hipposideridae
The Hipposideridae are a family (biology), 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 tribe (taxonomy), tribes, one with two subtribes, but these tribes turned out to be non-monophyly, monophyletic and have been abandoned. A different classification was proposed by Hand and Kirsch ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cloeotis
Percival's trident bat (''Cloeotis percivali'') is a species of bat in the family Hipposideridae. It is monotypic within the genus ''Cloeotis''. It is found in Sub-Saharan Africa, with its core distribution in Southern Africa. It has been reported from Botswana, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eswatini, Kenya, Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Its natural habitats are savannas where there are suitable caves and mine tunnels that it can use for roosting Birds are a group of warm-blooded vertebrates constituting the class Aves (), characterised by feathers, toothless beaked jaws, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, a high metabolic rate, a four-chambered heart, and a strong yet lightweight .... Colonies are never large (no more than about 300 individuals). Local numbers fluctuate greatly. Colonies can disappear, perhaps because they move to another place or go extinct.

Madagascar
Madagascar, officially the Republic of Madagascar, is an island country that includes the island of Madagascar and numerous smaller peripheral islands. Lying off the southeastern coast of Africa, it is the world's List of islands by area, fourth largest island, the List of island countries, second-largest island country, and the List of countries and dependencies by area, 46th largest country overall. Its capital and List of cities in Madagascar, largest city is Antananarivo. Following the prehistoric breakup of the supercontinent Gondwana, Madagascar split from Africa during the Early Jurassic period, around 180 million years ago, and separated from the Indian subcontinent approximately 90 million years ago. This isolation allowed native plants and animals to evolve in relative seclusion; as a result, Madagascar is a biodiversity hotspot and one of the world's 17 megadiverse countries, with over 90% of its wildlife of Madagascar, wildlife being endemic.
