Formerly included in Myotis by most authors (e.g., Ellerman and Morrison-Scott, 1951; Hayman and Hill, 1971; Koopman, 1993, 1994), but clearly distinct; see Bickham et al. (2004), Eick et al. (2005), Lack et al. (2010), Rautenbach et al. (1993), Stadelmann et al. (2004). Lack et al. (2010) placed the genus in a new family, Cistugidae. Species limits in the family are in need of review; see Seamark et al. (2012), who suggest that lesueri may not be valid.
