Genus Doryrhina Peters, 1871
Very recently, Foley et al. (2017: 12) analysed the cytochrome b sequences of the members of the genus Hipposideros and found this for “ H. cyclops ” to be that different that they assigned this species to a separate genus: Doryrhina . This is also confirmed by the karyotype, which contains 36 chromosomes, whereas the members of the genus Hipposideros only have 32.
