The Yangochiroptera, or Vespertilioniformes, is a proposed suborder of Chiroptera that includes most of the microbat families, except the Rhinopomatidae, Rhinolophidae, Hipposideridae and the Megadermatidae. These other families, plus the megabats, are seen as part of another suborder, Yinpterochiroptera. The rationale for the Yangochiroptera taxon is primarily based on molecular genetics data. The Yangochiroptera/ Yinpterochiroptera classification remains a relatively recent proposal, which challenges the traditional view that megabats and microbats form monophyletic groups of bats. Further studies are being conducted, using both molecular and morphological cladistic methodology, to assess the merit of this alternative view of bat evolution. The term ''Yangochiroptera'' was apparently proposed in 1984 by Karl F. Koopman.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=James M. Hutcheon and John A.W. Kirsch )〕 As an alternative to the subordinal names Yinpterochiroptera and Yangochiroptera, some researchers use the terms Pteropodiformes and Vespertilioniformes.〔 Under this new proposed nomenclature, Vespertilioniformes is the suborder that would replace Yangochiroptera. ==Classification== Suborder Yangochiroptera (Vespertilioniformes) *Family Antrozoidae (Pallid Bat and Van Gelder's Bat) *Family Emballonuridae (Sac-winged bats) *Family Furipteridae (Smoky bats) *Family Molossidae (Free-tailed bats) *Family Mormoopidae (Ghost-faced bats) *Family Mystacinidae (New Zealand short-tailed bats) *Family Myzopodidae (Sucker-footed bats) *Family Natalidae (Funnel-eared bats) *Family Noctilionidae (Bulldog bats) *Family Nycteridae (Hollow-faced bats) *Family Phyllostomidae (Leaf-nosed bats) *Family Thyropteridae (Disk-winged bats) *Family Vespertilionidae (Vesper bats) ==References== * * uk:Лиликоподібні 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yangochiroptera」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
