Convergent evolution is quite common among mammals of HE's and Spec's timelines. Spec's spelks, for example, resemble a lot cervids and other small artidactyls, while xenos resemble muroid rodents to such an extent that only molecular data and some morphological features place them as lagomorphs. Thus, it probably wouldn't be a surprise if the small mammalian fliers that can be seen in Spec's nightime weren't, in fact, bats, but a complete different linage of mammals that took the sky. Perhaps remarkable is what they are however; most "parallel mammals" of Spec are therians, like their real world equivelents (a possible exception being walducks, though they are only analogous to HE's beaked whales), which are the most common mammals in both timelines. However, specbats not only aren't with

However, specbats not only aren't within Theria, they also belong to a somewhat poorly understood clade of Mesozoic mammals, which are mostly known from [s]crappy remains, mostly teeth. They are volaticotheres.
