Rhinonicteris
Scientific classification
Domain:	Eukaryota
Kingdom:	Animalia
Phylum:	Chordata
Class:	Mammalia
Order:	Chiroptera
Family:	Rhinonycteridae
Genus:	Rhinonicteris Gray, 1845
Orange leaf-nosed bat range

Rhinonicteris is a genus of leaf-nosed microbats, represented by fossil taxa found at Riverleigh in Queensland and the extant species Rhinonicteris aurantia, which occurs in the north and west of the australian continent.

The genus was erected by Gray in 1847 to separate the species Rhinonicteris aurantia, nominating it as the type and only species.

The genus name published as Rhinonycteris Gray, J.E. 1866 has been regarded as a later correction by Gray, but this has also been determined to be an unjustified emendation.
