Type Species: Laephotis wintoni Thomas 1901 Species and subspecies: 4 species: Species Laephotis angolensis Monard 1935 Species Laephotis botswanae Setzer 1971 Species Laephotis namibensis Setzer 1971 Species Laephotis wintoni Thomas 1901 Discussion: Considered monotypic by Hayman and Hill (1971) , but see Hill (1974 a ) , who revised the genus. Kearney et al. (2002) suggested that Laephotis may nest within Neoromicia based on analysis of bacular structure, but this hypothesis needs to be tested with additional data sets.
