Treatment

Family Rhinolophidae Gray, 1825 View in CoL View at ENA . Zool. Journ., 2(6):242.

SYNONYMS: Hipposideridae .

COMMENTS: Includes Hipposideridae (here treated at a subfamily), see Vaughan (1978:39) and Koopman and Jones (1970); but also see Swanepoel et al. (1980:157). Hill (1982) listed Hipposideridae as a distinct family, without comment. Hill and Smith (1984) retained this separation and discussed the question.
