The two species have such similar morphology that in his original description of the Hispaniolan greater funnel-eared bat, Miller declined to offer a description of its physical appearance, writing "Except for its greater size, 353:.

The genus is characterised by the large, bell-shaped and face-covering 483:" as, although reasonably well distributed, the caves upon which it relies are a fragile habitat.
