Icaronycteris is an extinct genus of microchiropteran (echolocating) bat that lived in the early Eocene, approximately , making it the earliest bat genus known from complete skeletons, and the earliest known bat from North America.
Palaeochiropteryx (/ ˌ p æ l i oʊ k aɪ ˈ r ɒ p t ər ɪ k s / PAL-ee-oh-ky-ROP-tər-iks) is an extinct genus of bat from the Middle Eocene of Europe and North America.It contains three very similar species – Palaeochiropteryx tupaiodon and Palaeochiropteryx spiegeli, both from the famous Messel Pit of Germany, as well as Palaeochiropteryx sambuceus from the Sheep Pass Formation (Nevada ...

Onychonycteris finneyi was the strongest evidence so far in the debate on whether bats developed echolocation before or after they evolved the ability to fly. O. finneyi had well-developed wings, and could clearly fly, but lacked the enlarged cochlea of all extant echolocating bats, closely resembling the old world fruit bats which do not echolocate. [1]
Palaeochiropterygidae was merged into Archaeonycteridae by Kurten and Anderson in 1980, but modern authorities specializing in bat fossils maintain the distinction between the two. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It was classified to the unranked clade Microchiropteramorpha by Smith et al. in 2007.
More recently, E. Maitre has described the fossils in more detail. [6] [7] [8] N. grandis and N. planifrons have been considered indistinguishable from N. adichaster, but N. gerzei and N. marandati may be distinct enough to retain their respective statuses as distinct species. Several indeterminate bat fossils in France may belong to Necromantis.

[1] [2] The family Palaeochiropterygidae was also merged into Archaeonycteridae by Kurten and Anderson, but modern authorities specializing in bat fossils maintain the distinction between the two. [3] [4] They existed from the Ypresian to the Lutetian ages of the Middle Eocene epoch (55.8 to 40.4 million years ago). [1]
