Icarops is an extinct, possibly paraphyletic genus of mystacine bat with three described species.
The genus is known from fossils found at Riversleigh, north-western Queensland, Bullock Creek, Northern Territory, and Lake Ngapakaldi to Lake Palankarinna Fossil Area South Australia Australia.
[3] A study describing the genus Vulcanops renders Icarops paraphyletic towards the rest of Mystacinidae, with I. paradox being closer to New Zealand mystacines than to other Australian mystacines, which form an independent clade.
[4] The described species are Like its modern relatives, the Mystacina short-tailed bats, Icarops shows adaptations to foraging on the ground.
This is in spite of occurring alongside various terrestrial tetrapods, including other mammals such as marsupials and monotremes.
