Genus Hsunycteris Parlos et al., 2014 View in CoL

Four species are currently recognized in Hsunycteris (Velazco et al., 2017; Simmons and Cirranello, 2020). These taxa were traditionally classified within the genus Lonchophylla (e.g., by Griffiths and Gardner, 2008b), but molecular analyses have shown that the species now referred to Hsunycteris do not group with species of Lonchophylla , nor are these genera even sister taxa. Instead, Hsunycteris seems to be sister to a clade containing all the other lonchophylline genera (Parlos et al., 2014). Velazco et al. (2017) provided a key to the species of the genus. We recorded all three of the Hsunycteris species expected to occur in the Yavarí-Ucayali interfluve.
