Family MINIOPTERIDAE Dobson, 1875

Despite support for full familial status based on morphological data ( Aggarwal & Sinha 1973; Mein & Tupinier 1977), this taxon has long been classified in the Subfamily Miniopterinae in the Family Vespertilionidae ( Simmons 2005) . Hoofer and Van Den Bussche (2003) and Miller-Butterworth et al. (2007) later elevated Miniopteridae to a distinct family based on molecular analysis, a distinction that has been confirmed through subsequent DNA-based studies ( Lack & Van Den Bussche 2010; Lack et al. 2010).
