 Comments
       
  Comment: Comments: Does not include Arielulus, Eptesicus, Hesperoptenus, Glischropus, Nyctalus, Pipistrellus, and Scotozous; see Volleth (1992), Volleth and Heller (1994), and Volleth et al. (2001). Includes Hypsugo, Falsistrellus, Tylonycteris, and Vespadelus; see Volleth and Tidemann (1991) and Volleth and Heller (1994). Includes Neoromicia; see Volleth et al. (2001). May include Nyctophilus (Volleth and Tideman, 1991), here placed in a separate tribe Nyctophilini along with Pharotis  
    'Based on results of this study, in corroboration with baculum and cytogenetic data, it is apparent that Nycticeiini (sensu Tate, 1942 and related classifications of Koopman and Jones, 1970; Koopman, 1978, 1984, 1994; Kitchener and Caputi, 1985; McKenna and Bell, 1997; Simmons, 2005) is an unnatural grouping and molecular data fail to support, but cannot refute, other previously proposed compositional arrangements for tribe Nycticeiini. [...] It seems apparent from both the mtDNA and nDNA phylogenies that Arielulus, Eptesicus, Glauconycteris, Lasionycteris, and Scotomanes likely comprise a monophyletic clade. The only confounding factor is the unresolved position of Nycticeius. Bacular morphology, cytogenetics, and nDNA put the position of Nycticeius closer to the tribe Antrozoini and Plecotini, but until its position is resolved, the full circumscription of this clade (Eptesicini/Nycti ceiini) and its nomenclature remain equivocal.' (Roehrs et al., 2011)
