The term "Yangochiroptera" was apparently proposed in 1984 by Karl F. Koopman. [4] As an alternative to the subordinal names Yinpterochiroptera and Yangochiroptera, some researchers use the terms Pteropodiformes and Vespertilioniformes. [4] [5] Under this new proposed nomenclature, Vespertilioniformes is the suborder that would replace ...
Yangochiroptera Cladogram showing the position of Pteropodidae (fruit bats) within Yinpterochiroptera [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Fruit bats , also known as flying foxes or megabats, are the 197 species of bats that make up the suborder Megachiroptera , found throughout the tropics of Africa, Asia, and Oceania, of which 186 are extant .
Researchers have created a relaxed molecular clock that estimates the divergence between Yinpterochiroptera and Yangochiroptera around 63 million years ago. The most recent common ancestor of Yinpterochiroptera, corresponding to the split between Rhinolophoidea and Pteropodidae (Old World Fruit bats), is estimated to have occurred 60 million ...

Noctilionoidea is a superfamily of bats containing seven families: Thyropteridae, Furipteridae, Noctilionidae, Mormoopidae, Phyllostomidae, Myzopodidae, and Mystacinidae.. It is one of three superfamilies in the suborder Yangochiroptera, the others being Vespertilionoidea and Emballonuroidea.
It is one of three superfamilies in the suborder Yangochiroptera, the others being Noctilionoidea and Vespertilionoidea. Emballonurids are also known as sheath-tailed bats and sac-winged bats: the latter name refers to the glandular sac found on the edge of the wings in many species, used to produce a scent which represents territorial ...

To resolve the paraphyly of microbats, the Chiroptera were redivided into suborders Yangochiroptera (which includes Nycteridae, vespertilionoids, noctilionoids, and emballonuroids) and Yinpterochiroptera, which includes megabats, rhinopomatids, Rhinolophidae, and Megadermatidae. [1] This is the classification according to Simmons and Geisler ...
