  • Aegyptonycteris ("Egyptian bat") is a genus of extinct bat from the Late Eocene of North Africa. It is currently known from a single specimen (holotype CGM 83740) from the in the Fayum Depression in western Egypt. Aegyptonycteris is notable both its large size, comparable to the larger modern bat species, as well due to its omnivorous diet, as opposed to the mostly insectivorous diets of other Eocene bats (and the majority of modern species). This makes it a remarkable example of early chiropteran speciation, having not only attained a rather large size but also specialised towards a drastically different ecological niche from its contemporaries.

  • Aegyptonycteris ("murciélago egipcio") es un género extinto de mamífero quiróptero procedente del Eoceno superior del Norte de África. Es conocido a partir se un único espécimen, el holotipo CGM 83740 de la depresión de El Fayum en el oeste de Egipto. Aegyptonycteris es notable tanto por su gran tamaño, comparable a las mayores especies de muerciélagos actuales, así como por su dieta omnívora, en contraste con las dietas mayoritariamente insectívoras de otros murciélagos del Eoceno (y de muchas de las especies modernas). Esto lo convierte en un destacado ejemplo de la diversificación de los quirópteros primitivos, no solo habiendo alcanzado un gran tamaño sino también especializándose hacia un nicho ecológico diferente del de sus contemporáneos.​ (es)
