 Comments
       
  Comment: Status: IUCN 2003 and IUCN/SSC Action Plan (2001) - Lower Risk (lc) as Eptesicus melckorum  
    Comments: This species has not been clearly distinguished from capensis, see discussion in Rautenbach et al. (1993) and Kearney et al. (2002). Koopman (1994) noted that the type series from W Cape Province is probably conspecific with capensis; however, material from the northern part of the supposed range of melckorum (Kenya to Zambia and Transvaal) is clearly distinct from capensis and should be renamed
