Neoromicia Roberts, 1926. Ann. Transvaal Mus. 11: 245

Eptesicus zuluensis Roberts, 1924

Neoromicia was often considered a subgenus of Pipistrellus (e.g, Hill and Harrison, 1987; Koopman, 1994) or Eptesicus (e.g., Koopman, 1993), but the genus was raised to generic rank and transferred to Vespertilionini by Volleth et al. (2001) based on karyotype data. Kearney et al. (2002) provided additional evidence in support of this arrangement. Treated here as a distinct genus following Monadjem et al. (2020), who conducted a phylogenetic analysis and provided a revised taxonomy for all African and Malagasy Vespertilionini and Pipistrellini.
