Talk:Vespertilionidae

message: Since this is a group of bats, not a single species, shouldn't it be renamed "Vesper bats" (lowercase "bats")?  Ditto for all other "Xxxx bat" which are multi-specific.

message: The genus Philetor links to an article of a different name, and of totally different meaning. There is no offer for redirection. 71.226.90.37 00:05, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Miniopterus is no longer believed to be a part of this familiy. The subfamily Miniopterinae has been raised to familial status, Miniopteridae (Hutcheon & Kirsch, 2004; Van Den Bussche & Hoofer, 2004; Miller-Butterworth et al., 2007). One of the studies also places it as sister taxon to Vepertilionidae (Miller-Butterworth et al., 2007)
So this page and the Miniopterine pages should probably be edited to reflect this

message: According to this:  a genus of bat known as the Aaabat falls under this family. There is no species listed and according to the map (), there is only one location where 3 speciments have been collected in 1925.[0.s=20&c[0].p=0&c[0].o=16085421&c[1].s=19&c[1].p=0&c[1].o=105.0W,27.0N,85.0W,37.0N]. I was unable to find anything else with Google. I was hence thinking of putting this in this article and just redirecting the genus but I was unsure as to how to incorporate it (Under what subfamily it falls under I have no idea??!). Any suggestions/thoughts appreciated. Calaka (talk) 15:08, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: That's obviously just a placeholder name for what is presumably a couple of bats they couldn't identify below family level. Note that the link says "Unconfirmed taxon". Ucucha 15:27, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It is a shame they do not have photographs of said bats for maybe they are already identified by now and this particular classification of them was forgotten seeing as it was done in 1925. Yeah I found the "unconfirmed taxon" odd as well but I noticed that sight lists quite a number as unconfirmed whereas other sites would be more bold to list further down the line. Anyway, thanks for the info.Calaka (talk) 05:57, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

message: So i'm confused. If cygnis insignis accepts the Cistugo change, why is he reverting to a page that has dots that don't include anything? The remainder of my edits simply removed the dots, so the page looks cleaner.....Pvmoutside (talk) 03:26, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
