The Hipposideridae are a family of bats commonly known as the Old World leaf-nosed bats. While it has often been seen as a subfamily, Hipposiderinae, of the family Rhinolophidae, it is now more generally classified as its own family.〔Simmons, 2005, p. 365〕 Nevertheless, it is most closely related to Rhinolophidae within the suborder Pteropodiformes (or Yinpterochiroptera).〔Hutcheon and Kirsch, 2006〕 The Hipposideridae contain 10 living genera and more than 70 species, mostly in the widespread genus ''Hipposideros''.〔Simmons, 2005, pp. 365–379〕 In addition, several fossil genera are known; the oldest fossils attributed to the family are from the middle Eocene of Europe.〔McKenna and Bell, 1997, p. 306〕 In their 1997 ''Classification of Mammals'', Malcolm C. McKenna and Susan K. Bell proposed a division of Hipposideridae (called Rhinonycterinae in their work) into three tribes, one with two subtribes,〔McKenna and Bell, 1997, pp. 306–307〕 but these tribes turned out to be non-monophyletic and have been abandoned.〔 A different classification was proposed by Hand and Kirsch in 2003.〔Hand and Kirsch, 2003, table 3〕 More recently, Petr Benda and Peter Vallo (2009) proposed a separate tribe, Triaenopini, for the genera ''Triaenops'', ''Paratriaenops'', and possibly ''Cloeotis''.〔Benda and Vallo, 2009, p. 33〕 ==Genera== The genera included in Hipposideridae are (species counts only include living species):〔Simmons, 2005, pp. 365–379; McKenna and Bell, 1997, pp. 306–307; other sources cited for specific genera〕 *''Archerops'' (Miocene of Australia)〔Hand and Kirsch, 2003〕 *''Anthops'' (one species; Solomon Islands and Bougainville Island) *''Asellia'' (two species; Africa and southwestern Asia; Miocene fossils from Europe) *''Aselliscus'' (two species; southeastern Asia and Melanesia) *''Brachipposideros'' (Oligocene to Miocene of Europe and Miocene of Australia; sometimes included in ''Hipposideros'') *''Brevipalatus'' (Miocene of Australia)〔Hand and Archer, 2005〕 *''Cloeotis'' (one species; Africa) *''Coelops'' (at least two species; southeastern Asia; Miocene fossils from Africa) *''Hipposideros'' (more than sixty species; Africa, southern Eurasia, and Australasia; oldest fossils from the Eocene of Europe; includes ''Pseudorhinolophus'', sometimes considered a separate genus) *''Miophyllorhina'' (Miocene of Australia)〔Archer et al., 2006, p. 7〕 *''Palaeophyllophora'' (Eocene to Miocene of Europe) *''Paracoelops'' (one species; Vietnam) *''Paraphyllophora'' (Eocene or Oligocene to Miocene of Europe) *''Paratriaenops'' (previously included in ''Triaenops''; three species; Madagascar and Seychelles)〔Benda and Vallo, 2009, p. 34〕 *''Rhinonicteris'' (one species; Australia; earliest fossils from the Miocene)〔 *''Riversleighia'' (Miocene of Australia)〔 *''Triaenops'' (four species; Africa and southwestern Asia)〔 *''Vaylatsia'' (Oligocene of Europe)〔Ziegler, 2000, p. 652; Hand and Kirsch, 2003, table 3; cf.
