| Abstract: | The 3 myobiid genera, Hipposiderobia, Triaenomyobia, and Binunculoides are redefined on the basis of recently acquired knowledge of chiropteran Myobiidae. The genus Hipposiderobia is divided into the nominate subgenus and new subgenus Orientobia represented by 6 and 9 species, respectively. Two new species and a new synonymy within the genus Hipposiderobia are presented. The genera Triaenomyobia and Binunculoides are still monotypic. Measurements and key characters for all species of those genera are tabulated. The following species are discussed: H. indochinensis sp. nov., H. heteronycha, H. rhinopomatos sp. nov., H. assellicus, H. afra, and B. boendeensis, and T. triaenops. |
