翼足属是翼足科中种类最多的属，目前在18个类群中有65种。在这里，我们检查是否翼龙作为目前所了解的是单系。我们从代表12个类群的翼龙IS种，以及代表其他亚科和部落的Acerodon celebensis和megachiropteran外群中测序了3个核基因（RAG-1、RAG-2和vWF），总长度约为3.0 kbp。单独和联合简约分析和最大似然分析恢复了一个包含尖齿龙的分支，它是所有翼龙物种的姐妹，但不包括菲律宾特有分类群“P leucopterus”，使翼龙成为paraphyletic。我们建议采用Desmalopex leucopterus （Temminck, 1853）的组合名称，重新验证Desmalopex Miller， 1907，这是白蝶的一个可用的通用名称。我们讨论了这一结果的意义，并对翼龙分类的进一步修改进行了展望。
Pteropus is the most speciose genus in Pteropodidae, currently comprising 65 species in 18 species groups. Here we examine whether Pteropus as currently understood is monophyletic. We sequenced three nuclear genes (RAG-1, RAG-2 and vWF) totalling c. 3.0 kbp from IS species of Pteropus representing 12 species groups, plus Acerodon celebensis and megachiropteran outgroups representing all other subfamilies and tribes. Separate and combined parsimony and maximum likelihood analyses recovered a clade containing Acerodon as sister to all Pteropus species to the exclusion of the Philippine endemic taxon 'P leucopterus', rendering Pteropus paraphyletic. We propose the revalidation of Desmalopex Miller, 1907, an available generic name for leucopterus, adopting the name combination Desmalopex leucopterus (Temminck, 1853). We discuss implications of this result and anticipate further modifications of the classification of Pteropus.
