 Comments
       
  Comment: 'As a result of taxonomic confusion at the generic and specific levels, this subspecies has been variously known as Pipistrellus africanus meesteri, Pipistrellus nanus meesteri, and Neoromicia nanus meesteri. The epithet africanus predates nanus, but Opinion 2120 of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) (Anonymous 2005) argued to retain nanus on the grounds of nomenclatural stability (based on Happold's (2003) original application, Case 3240).'
