Discussion: Monogeneric; see Griffiths (1994) for a phylogeny. Although some authors have indicated that family-group names based on the greek root -nycteris should be spelled -nycterididae (e.g., Russell and Sigé 1970; Habersetzer and Storch, 1987; Kock et al., 2002), I prefer to maintain the commonly accepted spelling (-nycteridae) for these names in the interests of stability (see discussion in Simmons and Geisler [1998: footnote 13]). Accordingly, I use " Nycteridae " for this family instead of "Nycterididae".
