The family name is Phyllostomatidae, not Phyllostomidae. Ucucha See Mammal Taxonomy 16:21, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I though the plural of Phyllostomus was also Phyllostomata, so that the family name, regardless of priority, should be Phyllostomatidae, but I'm not so sure now. Ucucha See Mammal Taxonomy 17:43, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
You mention that the family Phyllostomidae represents "by far the most varied and diverse" family within the order Chiroptera. If by varied and diverse you mean ecologically, then this statement would be correct; however, Phyllostomidae is not the most taxonomically diverse family (Vesptertilionidae has over 300 species, and Pteropodidae tops 160). So, I would advise a more precise use of wording here. -- Tomwithanh 20:52, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Introduction Current intro contains: range, diet, and physical description Can add more general information instead of focusing on individual species. Give overview of information in following sections. These changes will give readers a more clear and comprehensive summary of the article and content.
Range - AS Describe locations, climates, and habitats of where Leaf-nosed bats are found
Evolution of - AS
Bats are the second most diverse group of mammals, behind rodents - bats evolved to have evolved the ability to actually fly, and are the only mammals that have done so.
It is believed that bats evolved from a common ancestor with the flying lemur and gradually adapted the stretched skin that now forms the wing of the bat from the loose skin used for gliding, and a flapping motion evolved in conjunction with trying to glide further.
Leaf nosed bats (Phyllostomidae) evolved from Yangochiroptera and Miniopteridae with sister groups also evolving from this group.
More information about the evolution of the nose and the different lineages of the species. A tree of the different leaf nosed bats if one can be found/made. (if a tree is available, link to the individual species pages)
Instead of only listing subfamilies and species, these changes will put that information in context and explain the origin and natural history of leaf-nosed bats.
Human Impact - JV Habitat disturbance--presence of humans can cause abandonment of roosts (largest negative impact is during summer months when leaf-nosed bats are rearing young)
California leaf-nosed bats often find permanent homes in abandoned mine shafts--when humans re-work old mines this pushes the bats out of their habitat
In captivity (zoos) life span compared to wild leaf-nosed bats, which species are kept and how frequently. Anatomy - SH Physical size ranges and notable outlier species Overall physical characteristics About the leaf-nose Morphology Potential evolutionary purpose/current function They aren’t sure what the purpose of the leaf nose is used for, but is suspected to aid in the use of echolocation. Variation between species
Diets - JV Range of the types of diets that different leaf nosed bats have - link to the other individual bat species pages. Elaborate on different diets - most are insectivores, list species that are frugivores and carnivores (including vampire bats).
Behavior - AV Behaviors in the dawn/dusk Nighttime hunting/foraging behavior Roosting behavior Protective of young vs. passive in threatening situations
Social Behavior - AV Subsection of behavior - describe the general social interactions of leaf nosed bats. Describe if they are usually found in small or large roosts - or if it’s based on the species. Are there smaller groups within the large roosts? Behavioral displays while mating? If both parents are involved in the rearing of offspring. Can touch on food sharing behavior of vampire bats
Life Cycle - SH Describe the typical mating pattern of leaf nosed bat species and approximately/ give a range of how long the gestation period is and how long they are dependent on their mother. How many offspring does the mother usually have.
Overall, changes will add much more information to give a detailed summary of many aspects of the leaf-nosed bat family and will expound upon the information in the existing article’s introduction and classification sections.

General comments: The biggest changes I suggest are to split up some of the headings you have to mirror the current Bats Wikipedia page, as it is a little clearer. Splitting Biology and Ecology will make categorization a little more intuitive. I propose that under Biology, you include a renamed Anatomy section (originally “Description”) and Life cycle. Under Ecology, diet and social system would fit. A few sentences should be revised for clarification or grammar, but overall the article is done well and is informative. Just remember that it should pertain specifically to this type of bats—any other generic bat information should be linked to rather than reiterated. If you can ever mention things that are specific to this bat type, do so! I would also try to include more pictures since the group is so diverse. I know Wikipedia is weird about pictures, so it may be difficult, but try to show an array of the diversity that you guys mention in the article. Jacob8598 ( talk) 22:10, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
Overall the page is well organized, clear, all-encompassing, and interesting. I think additional pictures would be useful. I had a few questions about some of the information that I thought could use some expanding, but the data may not be available to answer my questions. The information is neutral and unbiased with a wide array of reliable sources. Great job!
