2BDC9BD6099B651CDE30EEA1C2C81308.taxon	discussion	Discussion: Monogeneric; see Griffiths (1994) for a phylogeny. Although some authors have indicated that family-group names based on the greek root - nycteris should be spelled - nycterididae (e. g., Russell and Sigé 1970; Habersetzer and Storch, 1987; Kock et al., 2002), I prefer to maintain the commonly accepted spelling (- nycteridae) for these names in the interests of stability (see discussion in Simmons and Geisler [1998: footnote 13]). Accordingly, I use " Nycteridae " for this family instead of " Nycterididae ".	en	Wilson, Don E., Reeder, DeeAnn (2005): Order Chiroptera - Family Nycteridae.

CB5A13B6A9FD7321E3B41A1DD2AD1EC5.taxon	discussion	Discussion: Hall (1981) disregarded ICZN Opinion 111 and used Nycteris Borkhausen, 1797 for the Nearctic genus commonly known as Lasiurus Gray, 1831, but few other authors followed this usage and Nycteris is now universally used for Slit-faced Bats of the Old World. Revised by Van Cakenberghe and De Vree (1985, 1993 a, b, 1998). Thomas et al. (1994) summarized character variation and identified species groups, which we follow here with modifications based on Van Cakenberghe and De Vree (1993 a). For a key to the genus see Gray et al. (1999), but note that they did not distinguish all species recognized here.	en	Wilson, Don E., Reeder, DeeAnn (2005): Order Chiroptera - Family Nycteridae.
