Taxonomy debate
This genus is systematically complex and sometimes controversial. One reason that the genus is complex is because of the species' variable karyotypes: *Note that R. tumida is listed four times, as individuals have been found with four different karyotypes. This may represent a species complex. However, others argue that as Allen's yellow bat and the slender yellow bat are sister taxa, to exclude only one from Rhogeessa makes it a paraphyletic group. By that logic, either both species need to be included in Rhogeessa, or both need to be placed in Baeodon. ==References==
