DeutschList of horseshoe bats
Horseshoe bats are bats in the family Rhinolophidae, which is in the superfamily Rhinolophoidea. All extant horseshoe bats are in the genus Rhinolophus. There is one extinct genus of horseshoe bats, Palaeonycteris. As of 2019, there were 106 described species in Rhinolophus, making it the second-most speciose genus of bat after Myotis.[1]
Conventions[edit]
| Conservation status | |
|---|---|
| EX | Extinct (0 species) |
| EW | Extinct in the wild (0 species) |
| CR | Critically Endangered (1 species) |
| EN | Endangered (7 species) |
| VU | Vulnerable (6 species) |
| NT | Near threatened (8 species) |
| LC | Least concern (52 species) |
| Other categories | |
| DD | Data deficient (13 species) |
| NE | Not evaluated (17 species) |
Conservation statuses listed for each species follow the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. The 
symbol indicates that the species's population trend is positive, the 
symbol indicates that the species's population trend is negative, the 
symbol indicates that the species's population is stable, and the 
symbol indicates that the species's population trend is unknown. Population trends are based on the Red List of Threatened Species. The super-scripted "IUCN" tag is a link to that species's Red List of Threatened Species page. If a species has taxonomic synonyms, a list of these is provided in the "Scientific name" column, underneath the binomial name and author. If a species has subspecies, a list of these is provided in the "Common name" column, underneath the common name.
Palaeonycteris[edit]
