The Glossophagini are an assemblage of New World bats united by immunological studies (Baker et al. 1989). With the exception of the basal Brachyphylla, members of the Glossophagini have elongate muzzles and highly extensible tongues. The genera Phyllonycteris, Erophylla and Reithronycteris are distinguished from other glossophagins by their long and narrow lower molars, on which the cusps have become completely indistinct, leading them to be recognised in the past as a distinct group Phyllonycterinae (Miller 1907).
