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.[1] The species of Paratriaenops, which occur on Madagascar and the Seychelles, were placed in Triaenops until 2009. Triaenops currently contains the following species:[2]
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.[3]
