Type Species: Cynopterus angolensis Bocage 1898 Species and subspecies: 1 species with 5 subspecies: Species Lissonycteris angolensis (Bocage 1898) Subspecies Lissonycteris angolensis subsp. angolensis Bocage 1898 Subspecies Lissonycteris angolensis subsp. goliath Bergmans 1997 Subspecies Lissonycteris angolensis subsp. petraea Bergmans 1997 Subspecies Lissonycteris angolensis subsp. ruwenzorii Eisentraut 1965 Subspecies Lissonycteris angolensis subsp. smithii Thomas 1908 Discussion: Originally named as a subgenus of Rousettus . Often considered a junior synonym of either Rousettus (see Koopman, 1975 ) or Myonycteris (see Peterson et al., 1995 ), but Juste et al. (1997) showed that Lissonycteris is distinct from the latter genera. Bergmans (1997) also treated Lissonycteris as distinct, although he noted that it appears very closely related to Myonycteris (a conclusion confirmed by Juste et al., 1997 ).
