was considered a subgenus of Nycticetus by J. R. Ellerman and T. C. S. Morrison-Scott in 1951 but subsequently recognized as a distinct genus by D. R. Rosevear in 1965, a treatment followed by J. E. Hill in 1974. Taxonomy of dark-winged

Taylor and M. van der Merwe tested Koopmans arrangement using principal component analysis, which revealed that these forms were morphometrically distinguishable, and this was the basis for recognizing albigula and hinder as full species again.

Natural day roosts are not known, but the species is known to roost under corrugated iron roofs of huts and houses. Search-phase call shape of seven Malawian individuals flying in open space after release was very shallow linear FM, occasionally alternated with a curvilinear steep/shallow FM. For very shallow linear FM calls, intensity was high, end frequencies were 30-34 kHz, bandwidths were 2—4 kHz, and call durations were ¢.5-6 milliseconds. For curvilinear steep/shallow FM calls, intensity was high, end frequencies were 32-34 kHz, bandwidths were ¢.6-7 kHz, and call durations were ¢.5—6 milliseconds. When calls were alternated, end frequency was often lower in very shallow linear FM than in curvilinear steep/shallow FM. Approach-phase calls were firstly curvilinear steep/shallow FM sweeps of bandwidth up to 15 kHz, and then steep FM/QCF of greater bandwidth. Calls emitted close to the ground in cluttered areas were steep FM/QCF sweeps, intensity was high, with start frequency up to 70 kHz, and end frequencies of 33-40 kHz. Reflecting the differences in skull size, males echolocate at lower frequencies than females.
