Summary description from Wikipedia:

Paratriaenops

Paratriaenops is a genus in the bat family Hipposideridae. It is classified in the tribe Triaenopini, along with the closely related genus Triaenops and perhaps the poorly known Cloeotis. The species of Paratriaenops were placed in Triaenops until 2009. Paratriaenops currently contains the following species:

  • Paratriaenops auritus
  • Paratriaenops furcula
  • Paratriaenops pauliani

P auritus and P. furcula are found on Madagascar, P. pauliani in the Seychelles. The species Triaenops goodmani was described from subfossil material on Madagascar in 2007, before Paratriaenops was erected, but was not considered in the revision that split the genus.
