Description

Family Vespertilionidae Gray, 1821

Simmons (2005) subdivided the African Vespertilionidae into four subfamilies: Kerivoulinae, Myotinae, Vespertilioninae and Miniopterinae. The latter has been raised to family level (see above), whereas Koubínová et al. (2013: 9) distinguished one additional subfamily: Scotophilinae.
