Discussion: Includes Desmodontidae; see Jones and Carter (1976). For use of Phyllostomidae rather than Phyllostomatidae, see Handley (1980). The classification used here generally follows that of Wetterer et al. (2000), which was based on a phylogenetic analysis of morphological data, restriction sites, and sex chromosomes; all genera, tribes, and subfamilies appear to be monophyletic unless otherwise noted. See Baker et al. (2000) for an alternative phylogeny based on mtDNA sequence data; also see Baker et al. (1989). Carstens et al. (2002) provided a updated phylogeny of the nectar-feeding subfamilies (Brachyphyllinae, Phyllonycterinae, and Glossophaginae) based on combined analysis of morphological and molecular data.
