Yangochiroptera
The Yangochiroptera, or Vespertilioniformes, is a proposed suborder of Chiroptera that includes most of the microbat families, except the Rhinopomatidae, Rhinolophidae, Hipposideridae and the Megadermatidae. These other families, plus the megabats, are seen as part of another suborder, Yinpterochiroptera.
