Bat genera

Megaloglossus is a genus of bats in the family Pteropodidae. It is native to Africa. It contains two species, Megaloglossus azagnyi and Megaloglossus woermanni. Prior to 2012, it was considered a monotypic genus. In 2012, however, M. woermanni was split into two species with the description of M. azagnyi. It was described as a new species in 2012.

Otonycteris is a genus of vesper bats. Members of this genus are found in Northern Africa and Central Asia. Until recently, it was thought to be monotypic, but in 2010, the Turkestani long-eared bat was distinguished from the desert long-eared bat; previously, all populations were recognized as the desert long-eared bat.

Hsunycteris is a genus of bats in the family Phyllostomidae and the only genus in the tribe Hsunycterini.

Paremballonura (false sheath-tailed bat) is a genus of bats belonging to the family Emballonuridae.

Afronycteris is a genus of vesper bat containing two species, both of which are found in sub-Saharan Africa. Its members were previously classified in Neoromicia before phylogenetic analysis found them to comprise a separate genus.

Submyotodon is a genus of vespertilionid bats, published as a new taxon in 2003 to describe a Miocene fossil species. Extant species and subspecies previously included in Myotis were later transferred to this genus. Species in this genus are referred to as broad-muzzled bats or broad-muzzled myotises.

Austronomus, known as Australasian free-tailed bats, is a molossid genus of microchiropterans. The two recognised species are the white-striped Austronomus australis, found in a wide distribution range across Australia, and the New Guinea species Austronomus kuboriensis.

Vampyriscus (meaning: small vampire bat) is a genus of bats in the family Phyllostomidae, the leaf-nosed bats.

Ozimops is a genus of molossid bats found in Australia, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.

Nycticeinops is a genus of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It contains the following species:

Pseudoromicia is a genus of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. All species in this genus are native to sub-Saharan Africa.

Phyllops is a genus of bats that includes the Cuban fig-eating bat and two extinct species, both from Cuba as well.

Thainycteris is a genus of vesper bat with two species, one found in Indochina and the other found in Taiwan. Its members were previously classified within Arielulus, but more recent studies support Thainycteris as being a distinct genus.

Rhinonicteris is a genus of leaf-nosed microbats, represented by fossil taxa found at Riverleigh in Queensland and the extant species Rhinonicteris aurantia, which occurs in the north and west of the Australian continent.

Macronycteris is a genus of bats belonging to the family Hipposideridae.

genus of mammals

Mimetillus is a genus of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It contains two species, both known as mimic bats and found in sub-Saharan Africa.

Doryrhina is a genus of bats belonging to the family Hipposideridae. The best known species, Doryrhina cyclops, was long placed in the diverse genus Hipposideros, but a 2017 study found that it did not form a monophyletic group with true Hipposideros. Consequently, it was placed in a separate genus, Doryrhina. A second species, Doryrhina camerunensis, has not been studied genetically, but it is generally thought to be related to D. cyclops, so it was also moved to Doryrhina.
