What is "icarops"

Icarops is an extinct genus of Mystacinidae bats with three described species. The genus is known from fossils found at Riversleigh, north-western Queensland, and Bullock Creek, Northern Territories, Australia. The fossils date from the late Oligocene to early Miocene.

The name is derived "From Icarus, the mythological Greek who flew towards the sun, in reference to the ancient mystacinid that flew eastwards from Australia to New Zealand."
