The status of this species remains uncertain; see Corbet (1978) and Horácek et al. (2000). Possibly a synonym of bottae (see Koopman, 1993, 1994) or serotinus (see Horácek et al., 2000). Listed as a synonym of Eptesicus pachyomus pallens by the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) without comment. Fukui (2019) notes that this "species has not been identified since its original description, and no specimen has been available to assess its taxonomic status (Tony Hutson pers. comm. 2008)." These concerns lead Jo et al. (2018) to conclude that this species does not currently occur in Korea. We retain kobayashii as a provisionally valid species, pending additional review. Sometimes spelled kobayashi.
