Subfamily Glyphonycterinae Baker et al., 2016

Five species in three genera ( Glyphonycteris , Trinycteris , Neonycteris ) are currently recognized in this subfamily (Baker et al., 2003; Dávalos et al., 2014; Baker et al., 2016; Cirranello et al., 2016; Simmons and Cirranello, 2020). These taxa were traditionally classified as members of the genus Micronycteris in the subfamily Phyllostominae (Simmons, 1996, 2005), but molecular data have shown that Glyphonycteris and Trinycteris do not group with other species of Micronycteris and, indeed, are not even closely related to other “phyllostomines.” Instead, these taxa form a clade that nests among primarily plant-feeding lineages elsewhere in the phyllostomid tree (Baker et al., 2003; Dávalos et al., 2012, 2014). Baker et al. (2003) named this clade Glyphonycterinae , but it was not diagnosed and its name not made available until the joint publications of Baker et al. (2016) and Cirranello et al. (2016). Members of this subfamily are small to large bats (forearm 36–58 mm) that have a simple noseleaf with the spear equal to or longer than twice the height of the horseshoe; additionally, the rib of the spear is restricted to its proximal part; there is no distinct boundary between the labial bor- der of horseshoe and the upper lip; the chin has two dermal pads with smoothly rounded lateral margins; the calcar is shorter than the foot; the outer upper incisors are in contact with the canines; and the second lower premolar is short, less than 1 ⁄ 4 the height of the first and third lower premolars (Cirranello et al., 2016). All three species expected to occur in the Yavarí- Ucayali interfluve are represented among the voucher specimens we examined.
