Abstract

In the past decade, six new species and one new genus have been described in the Lonchophyllinae (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae), significantly increasing the number of recognized taxa in the subfamily to four genera and 17 species. During this time, three studies, both morphological and genetic, recovered the genus Lonchophylla as paraphyletic with respect to other genera in the subfamily. We address issues related to the paraphyletic assemblages recovered in previous studies, using a combination of mitochondrial (cytochrome-b), nuclear data (Fgb-I7, TSHB-I2), chromosome diploid and fundamental numbers, and morphological characters to determine whether all species of Lonchophylla share a common ancestor after diverging from other genera in the subfamily. Based on gene sequence data, a basal, monophyletic, statistically supported radiation within the subfamily Lonchophyllinae was recovered in all phylogenetic analyses. We conclude that this assemblage merits recognition as a new tribe and genus, and, therefore, present a formal description of this genus as Hsunycteris and tribe as Hsunycterini. With the available resources, several other issues related to paraphyly within both the genus Hsunycteris and tribe Lonchophyllini were not resolvable at this time. These issues include that the genus Lonchophylla is paraphyletic and Hsunycteris thomasi contains more than one biological species. A species in the genus Hsunycteris remains undescribed because we were unable to determine which of two lineages the type specimen of H. thomasi is actually a member. Until additional genetic and/or morphological data are available, resolution of all paraphyletic relationships is not possible. We recommend future studies focus on utilizing morphological and genetic (both mitochondrial and nuclear) data from the type specimens of Lonchophylla and Hsunycteris to resolve these remaining questions.
