Evening Bat
Listed as a synonym of Myotis albescens by many authors following Miller and Allen (1928), but clearly distinct at both the genus and species level; see Husson (1962) and Carter and Dolan (1978). The latter authors suggested that this species probably belongs with Nycticeius, but its status remains unclear. If the holotype originated in the Old World, this taxon might be referable to Scotoecus, Scotorepens, or Scoteanax.
