Emballonuridae Family
Emballonurids are known as sac-winged or sheath-tailed bats. The first of these names describes the glandular sac usually found on the propatagium (leading edge of the wing) in many species. This gland produces a scent used in social displays and to mark territories. [eng] |

Sac-winged Bats, Sheath-tailed Bats, and Ghost Bats
This family of 12 Recent genera and 48 species is widely distributed in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The sequence of genera presented here follows that of Robbins and Sarich (1988), who recognized two subfamilies, Taphozoinae, with Taphozous and Saccolaimus, and Emballonurinae, with the remaining genera. A third subfamily, Diclidurinae, comprising the genera Cyttarops and Diclidurus, sometimes is recognized. [eng] |
