Saccolaimus is a genus of the family Emballonuridae,[2] small insectivorous bats with distinctive sheathtails and pouches at the wrist.
The species have been placed with genus Taphozous, in subgenus Taphozous, although an elevation to genus accords with a 1991 revision of Australian emballonurids.[3] The type species is Taphozous saccolaimus, published by Coenraad Jacob Temminck in 1838,[1] elevated as generic combination Saccolaimus saccolaimus in this arrangement. The genus also follows Temminck's description of that species.[2] A revision by George Dobson in 1876 erected the genus name Taphonycteris, once recognised and later suppressed as a synonym to give priority to Temminck's earlier description. A key to the genus was provided in its 1991 revision by Christian Chimimba and Darrell Kitchener.[3][2]
The genus Saccolaimus Temminck, 1838 contains the following taxa:[2]
species Saccolaimus flaviventris (Peters, 1867). yellow-bellied pouched or sheath-tailed bat
species †Saccolaimus kenyensis (Gunnell & Manthi, 2019)[4]
species Saccolaimus mixtus Troughton, 1925. Troughton's pouched bat, Papuan sheath-tailed bat
species Saccolaimus peli. Pel's pouched bat
species Saccolaimus saccolaimus Temminck, 1838. naked-rumped pouched bat
subspecies Saccolaimus saccolaimus saccolaimus
subspecies Saccolaimus saccolaimus affinis
subspecies Saccolaimus saccolaimus crassus
subspecies Saccolaimus saccolaimus nudicluniatus De Vis, 1905.[5]
subspecies Saccolaimus saccolaimus pluto
The diversity of this genus in Australia, identified as species S. saccolaimus and S. flaviventris, is poorly resolved and requires re-examination of records.[6]
