II. 113, 126; < ancient Greek τάϕος grave (see taphonomy n.) + ζῷον animal: see zoon n.).Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire's text was apparently circulating in proof by 1813, though the relevant section of Description de l'Égypte may not have been issued until 1818.
Any of various sac-winged bats of the genus Taphozous (family Emballonuridae), found in Africa, southern Asia, and Australasia, many of which typically roost on flat surfaces (including the walls of old tombs and other buildings).
