Table 8. Recent changes to the taxonomy of African and Malagasy Vespertilionini and Pipistrellini

Simmons (2005) *	Simmons & Cirranello (2020)	This study
Taxa listed in parentheses need genetic confirmation of their generic allocation; those listed in square brackets require careful delimitation and taxonomic description. *Two additional species listed were Neoromicia melckorum, now regarded as a synonym of Laephotis capensis (Goodman et al., 2017), and Neoromicia flavescens, now considered a nomen dubium (see Thorn et al., 2007). † See Happold & Van Cakenberghe (2013) for problems with this name. ‡ Allocation based on its close genetic relationship with Neo. bemainty. § Allocation based on its bacular morphology. ¶ Allocation based on its morphological similarity to Nyc. happoldorum. # Shown by our genetic analysis to fall outside Vespertilionini and Pipistrellini.
