	TEXTNOTE ID=999 TITLE=Introduction TEXT='Nataloidea comprises four small families: Myzopodidae (which is monotypic), Thyropteridae (1 genus and 3 species), Furipteridae (2 genera and 2 species), and Natalidae (1 genus and 6 species; Koopman, 1993; Pine, 1993;  Simmons, 1998; Simmons and Geisler, 1998).  Thyropteridae, Furipteridae, and Natalidae are all Neotropical in distribution, but Myzopodidae is found only in Madagascar.  Nataloids live only in tropical areas, and most species are found in rainforest habitats.  All nataloids are insectivores that catch their prey on the wing.<p>


';
	TEXTNOTE ID=1001 TITLE=Discussion_of_Phylogenetic_Relationships TEXT='All four nataloid families are clearly monophyletic, and the three
Neotropical taxa (Thyropteridae, Furipteridae, and Natalidae) together form a clade (Simmons, 1998; Simmons and Geisler, 1998).  Within this group, there is strong support for a sister-group relationship between Furipterdidae and Natalidae (Simmons, 1998; Simmons and Geisler, 1998). Relationships within the only two speciouse groups, Thyropteridae and Natalidae, have never been formally analyzed.
