Hipposideridae

description: <i>Hipposideridae</i> The familial delimitation of Rhinonycteridae and Hipposideridae results in <i>Asellia</i> being basal to all other Hipposideridae. This clade received strong bootstrap and PP support across all analyses (see supplementary table S2, Supplementary Material online). This is contrary to a previous study, which, based on morphological data, places <i>Aselliscus</i> basal (Hand and Kirsch 1998), despite the inclusion of <i>Asellia</i> in their data set. The genus <i>Aselliscus</i> contains two species, and its placement in the Hipposideridae phylogeny has been controversial. Pierson (1986) concluded that <i>Aselliscus</i> was not a member of Hipposideridae and was more closely aligned with the Rhinolophidae, based on immunological transferrin distance data. Morphological data place this genus among other <i>Hipposideros</i> spp. (Bogdanowicz and Owen 1998; Hand and Kirsch 1998). These morphological results are in agreement with molecular data, which found strong support for a sister taxa relationship between <i>Aselliscus</i> and <i>Coelops</i> (Li et al. 2007). Previously, <i>Coelops</i> has been grouped in a separate tribe Coelopini Tate (1941:11) (sensu; McKenna and Bell [1997] = Coelopinae Tate [1941:11]), which comprised <i>Coelops</i> and <i>Paracoelops,</i> the latter no longer recognized as a valid genus (Thong, Dietz, et al. 2012). Our findings provide strong support for the sister taxa relationship between <i>Aselliscus</i> and <i>Coelops</i> recovered by Li et al. (2007).
