Tonatia Gray 1827 View in CoL

Tonatia Gray 1827 View in CoL , in: Griffith et al., Animal Kingdom, Vol. 5: 71.

Type Species: Vampyrus bidens Spix 1823

Synonyms: Anthorhina Lydekker 1891 ; Phyllostoma Gray 1838 ; Tylostoma Gervais 1855 ; Vampyrus Spix 1823 .

Species and subspecies: 2 species with 3 subspecies:

Species Tonatia bidens (Spix 1823)

Species Tonatia saurophila Koopman and Williams 1951

Subspecies Tonatia saurophila subsp. saurophila Koopman and Williams 1951

Subspecies Tonatia saurophila subsp. bakeri Williams, Willig, and Reid 1995

Subspecies Tonatia saurophila subsp. maresi Williams, Willig, and Reid 1995

Discussion: Tonatia as traditionally defined was recently shown to be non-monophyletic (see Lee et al., 2002), and so has been restricted to include only the type species ( bidens ) and its close relative ( saurophila ). The remaining species, which together form a clade that is not closely related to Tonatia , are here transferred to Lophostoma following the recommendation of Lee et al. (2002). Keys to Tonatia have been published by several authors, but only one publication – Williams et al. (1995) – describes distinctions between the species now included in the genus.
