Genus Macronycteris Gray, 1866 View in CoL
In their very recently published study of the genus Hipposideros, Foley et al. (2017) found that the Cyt- b sequences for Hipposideros commersoni E. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1813 , H. cryptovalorona Goodman et al., 2016 , H. gigas (Wagner, 1845) and H. vittatus (Peters, 1852) are quite different from those of the other representatives of this genus, and therefore, they resurrected the genus Macronycteris Gray, 1866 . This division is also supported by the deviant karyotype, which in Hipposideros counts 32 chromosomes and 52 in species assigned to Macronycteris .
