Discussion: Subtribe Ectophyllina . Includes three subgenera as recognized here: Artibeus , Dermanura , and Koopmania . Does not include Enchisthenes ; see Lim (1993), Van Den Bussche et al. (1993 a, 1998), Baker et al. (2000), and Wetterer et al. (2000). Some researchers regard Dermanura as a distinct genus, but I prefer to treat it as a subgenus of Artibeus in recognition of its close phylogenetic affinities with Artibeus sensu stricto (see phylogenies in Van Den Bussche et al. [1993 a, 1998], Baker et al. [2000], and Wetterer et al. [2000]). Large-bodied species (subgenus Artibeus ) were reviewed by Marques-Aguiar (1994); see also Lim and Wilson (1993). Handley (1987) reviewed the smaller species (subgenera Dermanura and Koopmania ). Species relationships discussed by Marques-Aguiar (1994) and Van Den Bussche et al. (1998).
