Notes	Humeral characters of eleven recent species and one subspecies belonging to three genera of the Rhinolophidae including two subfamilies were described. A key provides for their identification as well as the identification of the fossil bats found on the Akiyoshi-dai Plateau. Further, we discussed differences in the adaptability for flight of the bats not only within each taxon of the family but also between the phylogenetically less advanced Rhinolophidae and the more advanced Vespertilionidae, taking the value of DW/PW (the ratio of the distal epiphysis width to the proximal one) and the wing-type ratio (the third finger to the fifth one) into consideration. In consequense, as a rule, the more the bat was in a phylogenetically high position, the more the adaptability for flight was high.
