Mimon Gray, 1847 . Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1847:14.

TYPE SPECIES: Phyllostoma bennettii Gray, 1838 .

SYNONYMS: Anthorhina .

COMMENTS: Includes Anthorhina; see Handley (1960). Gardner and Ferrell (1990:503-504) argued that Anthorhina is a junior objective synonym of Tonatia, and unavailable as a subgenus of Mimon . This was based on a type species designation of the preoccupied name, Tylostoma, however, it was clearly Lydekker's intention in renaming Tylostoma as Anthorhina to restrict it to Tylostoma sensu Peters and Dobson.
