Discussion: Revised by Bergmans (2001). Bergmans (2001) proposed that Paranyctimene be considered a subgenus of Nyctimene , but I retain Paranyctimene as a distinct genus pending studies of phylogenetic relationships of these taxa. Should Paranyctimene be shown to nest within a clade of Nyctimene species, I would support synonymizing these genera. However, I see little to be gained by this change if Nyctimene sensu stricto proves to be monophyletic with respect to Paranyctimene (and vice versa) given the long history of usage of these names. Electophoretic data published by Donnellan et al. (1995) suggests that these taxa are indeed reciprocally monophyletic.
