Rhinopomatidae is a small family with a single genus, Rhinopoma. At a glance, its long tail is a characteristic feature that distinguishes it from the other bat families. Because of several anatomical features, including the arrangement and structure of the premaxilla bones, it is considered a relatively primitive family among insectivorous bat families.

In Israel, there are two species:
Greater mouse-tailed bat  Rhinopoma microphyllum
Lesser mouse-tailed bat  Rhinopoma hardwickei
