Casinycteris (Short-palated bat) is a genus of bats described in 1910. It currently consists of three species: Short-palated fruit bat (Casinycteris argynnis) Campo-Ma’an fruit bat (Casinycteris campomaanensis) Pohle's fruit bat (Casinycteris ophiodon)
Previously, the genus Casinycteris was thought to be monotypic, with only the short-palated fruit bat as a member. In 2014 however, a new species (C. campomaanensis) was described and added to the genus. In the same paper, they recommended that the Pohle's fruit bat move from Scotonycteris to Casinycteris.
