Doryrhina

Genus of bats

Doryrhina is a genus of bats belonging to the family Hipposideridae. The best known species, Doryrhina cyclops, was long placed in the diverse genus Hipposideros, but a 2017 study found that it did not form a monophyletic group with true Hipposideros. Consequently, it was placed in a separate genus, Doryrhina.[1] A second species, Doryrhina camerunensis, has not been studied genetically, but it is generally thought to be related to D. cyclops, so it was also moved to Doryrhina.[2]
