Nycticeinops

Nycticeinops is a genus of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. It contains the following species:

Bellier's serotine, Nycticeinops bellieri
Broad-headed serotine, Nycticeinops crassulus
Eisentraut's serotine, Nycticeinops eisentrauti
Grandidier's serotine, Nycticeinops grandidieri
Happolds's serotine, Nycticeinops happoldorum
Large-headed serotine, Nycticeinops macrocephalus
Schlieffen's serotine, Nycticeinops schlieffeni

Formerly, the only species placed in this genus was Schlieffen's serotine, but phylogenetic evidence has placed several other species in this genus. These species were formerly classified in either Pipistrellus, Neoromicia, or Hypsugo until being reclassified into the new genus Parahypsugo in 2019. In a 2020 study, Nycticeinops was found to contain Parahypsugo, and thus both were synonymized.
