Rhinolophoidea

Rhinolophoidea is a superfamily of bats. It contains the following families: Craseonycteridae, Hipposideridae, Megadermatidae, Rhinolophidae, Rhinonycteridae, and Rhinopomatidae.[1][2] It is one of two superfamilies that comprise the suborder Yinpterochiroptera, the other being Pteropodoidea, which only contains the family Pteropodidae.[3]

gollark: It looks simpler than your diagram, although I suppose that covers all school stuff while I'm only talking about my specific school and there are other options like vocational training of some kind.
gollark: My school has some convoluted thing where for A-level (high school, ish), as well as the regular 3 A-levels, you *also* have to do two of these three options:- EPQ i.e. a big independent-research-y project- a bunch of 3-month nonexamined "carousel" courses about random stuff like sign language and cooking and photography- a "complementary studies" course, which is *either* a nonexamined random thing or something like one AS-level*or* a fourth A-level.
gollark: Hmm, that's quite a lot longer than "high school" here.
gollark: The only vaguely practical class my school offers at "high school" age (16-18, right?) is "cooking", as part of the complementary studies carousel thing, which I'm not actually doing.
gollark: I see.
