Genus
Hypsugo
Kolenati, 1856
Hypsugo
was once regarded as a Subgenus of
Pipistrellus
(
Simmons 2005
)
, although
Horáček and Hanák (1986)
viewed
Hypsugo
as a distinct genus (followed by
Juste & Paunovic 2016
). Genetic and karyological analyses did not support a close relationship between
Pipistrellus
and
Hypsugo
(
Kruskop 2012
)
. One species,
H. alaschanicus
occurs in
Korea
. With
Vespertilio
,
Hypsugo
represents the Tribe
Vespertilionini
in the Subfamily
Vespertilionae
.
