Lissonycteris: Comments
Comment:
Comments: Originally named as a subgenus of Rousettus. Often considered a junior synonym of either Rousettus (see Koopman, 1975) or Myonycteris (see Peterson et al., 1995), but Juste et al. (1997) showed that Lissonycteris is distinct from the latter genera. Bergmans (1997) also treated Lissonycteris as distinct, although he noted that it appears very closely related to Myonycteris (a conclusion confirmed by Juste et al., 1997)
