Eptesicus 2023 proposed revision A 2023 study noted divisions within
Eptesicus when considering physical characteristics, genetics, echolocation characteristics, and
divergence timing, with the authors concluding that
Eptesicus should be split into three genera. They described a new genus,

Cnephaeus to genus rank. The
