	Family Vespertilionidae or evening bats and vesper bats
		VESPERTILIONIDAE Vespertilionidae is a family of bats characterized by an ear tragus and without a nose-leaf.
		Although the familial diversity of bats is especially high in the tropics, only one group, the family Vespertilionidae, is known to occur in Idaho.
		Vespertilionidae is the most speciose group of bats, and the second-most speciose group of mammals, in the fauna of RL, but on the Specworld, they seem never to have evolved.

	Vespertilionidae
		While there is currently only one family of bats found within in the Superfamily Vespertilionoidea; this rank in the tree has been retained due to the probability that subfamilies within the family Vespertilionidae will be raised to family level in the near future.
		The family Vespertilionidae (excluding Antrozoidae and Tomopeatinae) contains almost one-third of living bat species (Koopman, 1993, 1994).
		Five subfamilies are currently recognized in Vespertilionidae: Vespertilioninae, Myotinae, Miniopterinae, Murininae, and Kerivoulinae (Volleth and Heller, 1994; Simmons, 1998; Simmons and Geisler, 1998).

	Microchiroptera
		However, the frequent appearance of this group in discussions of bats may be attributed to the common assumption of monophyly rather than strong phylogenetic support for this hypothesis.
		Pierson (1986), who did not assume Vespertilionidae monophyly, placed Tomopeatinae and Miniopterinae (usually found within Vespertilionidae) with Molossoidea and suggested the remaining vespertilionids form a clade with Yinochiroptera.
		With the removal of the preceding families, Vespertilionidae, limited to Vespertilioninae, Miniopterinae, Myotinae, Murininae and Kerivoulinae, is now monophyletic." One group which is fairly well supported is the clade containing Phyllostomidae, Noctilionidae, and Mormoopidae (= Noctilionoidea).

	FOSSIL BATS OF THE AMERICAS
		Fossils of the family Vespertilionidae are rare in Florida Oligocene fossil deposits, represented by small samples from three localities: two teeth and a partial radius from I-75 (Whitneyan), seven isolated teeth representing two species from White Springs (early Arikareean), and an isolated lower molar from SB-1A/Live Oak (early Arikareean).
		Vespertilionids are the only bats known from the White Springs and SB-1A/Live Oak faunas, whereas vespertilionids are either rare (I-75) or absent (Brooksville 2) in the two most diverse Florida Oligocene bat faunas.
		Outside of the Florida peninsula, members of Vespertilionidae dominate the Oligocene through Pleistocene chiropteran record of North America.

	Bats Index
		The family Vespertilionidae contains more bat species than any other group.
		Vespertilionids demonstrate a diversity of roosting sites including buildings, especially attic areas, caves, mines, fractures in rock, and hollowed locations or foliage roosts in trees.
		Closures are being mandated as a result of unstable and deteriorated conditions that endanger unsuspecting humans who do not understand their interest in exploring an old mine may lead to a tragic outcome.
