Discussion: Possibly monophyletic as defined here; see Wetterer et al. (2000), though see also Baker et al. (2000). Wetterer et al. (2000) recognized four tribes within Phyllostominae (Lonchorhinini, Micronycterini, Phyllostomini, and Vampyrini), but monophyly of these groups is uncertain (see Baker et al., 2000). Accordingly, I do not recognize tribes within Phyllostominae at the present time.
