Triaenops
Triaenops is a genus of bat in the family Hipposideridae. It is classified in the tribe Triaenopini, along with the closely related genus Paratriaenops and perhaps the poorly known Cloeotis. The species of Paratriaenops, which occur on Madagascar and the Seychelles, were placed in Triaenops until 2009. Triaenops currently contains the following species:
- Triaenops afer
- Triaenops menamena
- Triaenops parvus
- Triaenops persicus
Another species, Triaenops goodmani, was described from subfossil material on Madagascar in 2007, before Paratriaenops was split off, but was not considered in the revision that split the genus.
