Taxonomy
The genus was proposed by George Henry Hamilton Tate in American Museum Novitates (1942), describing specimens obtained on the Archbold 1936-37 expedition to New Guinea. Resembling the genus Nyctimene, the tube-nosed bats, the taxon was reduced to a subgenus of that group in 2001.[7] However, the Mammal Species of the World demurred from this arrangement, pending analysis of the phylogeny of both groups, instead recognising the following taxa,[8]
- Paranyctimene
- Paranyctimene raptor (Lesser tube-nosed fruit bat), the type, first proposed in 1942.
- Paranyctimene tenax Bergmans, 2001[7] (Steadfast tube-nosed fruit bat)
- Paranyctimene tenax tenax
- Paranyctimene tenax marculus Bergmans, 2001
