A phylogenetic reconstruction based on 13 genes (over 11000 nt) and taxonomic sampling including 47 specimens representing almost all known African species, highlighted several robust and reliable clades, This has enabled us to propose a new classification of fruit bats from Africa. In his new definition, subfamily contains six tribes Epomophorinae (Epomophorini, Myonycterini, Plerotini, Rousettini, Scotonycterini et Stenonycterini) instead of four initially recognized. Stenonycteris is recognized as a different kind of genre Rousettus and defined the new tribe Stenonycterini including one species, S. lanosus. This result suggests that echolocation in Pteropodidae was acquired independently in the genus Rousettus and gender Stenonycteris, probably related to their way of life cave, or that this character was lost in the common ancestor of the tribe of Epomophorini and Myonycterini probably due to the change of a way of life in forest cave.
ujenzi phylogenetic misingi ya 13 jeni (juu ya 11000 nt) na sampuli taxonomic ikiwa ni pamoja na 47 sampuli anayewakilisha aina karibu wote inayojulikana Afrika, yalionyesha clades kadhaa imara na kuaminika, Hii ina kuwezeshwa sisi kupendekeza Uainishaji mpya ya popo matunda kutoka Afrika . Katika ufafanuzi wake mpya, jamii ndogo ya ina makabila sita Epomophorinae (Epomophorini, Myonycterini, Plerotini, Rousettini, Scotonycterini et Stenonycterini) badala ya nne awali kutambuliwa . Stenonycteris ni kutambuliwa kama aina mbalimbali ya Ghana Rousettus na hufafanuliwa mpya kabila Stenonycterini ikiwa ni pamoja na aina moja, S . lanosus . Hii inaonyesha kwamba matokeo echolocation katika Pteropodidae ilinunuliwa kwa kujitegemea katika jenasi Rousettus na jinsia Stenonycteris, pengine kuhusiana na njia yao ya maisha pango, au kwamba tabia hii alikuwa amepotea katika babu kawaida wa kabila la Epomophorini na Myonycterini pengine kutokana na mabadiliko ya njia ya maisha katika pango msitu .
