Discussion:
Includes two tribes,
Glossophagini
and Lonchophillini, which are recognized as separate subfamilies by some authors.
Baker et al. (2000)
suggested that this subfamily may not be monophyletic, but see
Carstens et al. (2002)
, who recovered a monophyletic
Glossophaginae
in a combined analysis of molecular and morphological data. Morphology, biology, and evolution reviewed by Solmsen (1998).
