Vespertilio Thomas, 1901 (part, not Linnaeus, 1758). Eptesicus G. M. Allen, 1911 (part, not Rafinesque, 1820). Pipistrellus Zammarano, 1930 (part, not Kaup, 1829). Complete synonymic histories for the species of Neoromicia are given in the African Chiroptera report (AfricanBats NPC, 2019). Description: This genus was originally created for the species Neo. zuluensis, based on it having &#x2018;the cranium slightly raised above the level of the muzzle&#x2019; (Roberts, 1926). The close relationship between this taxon and Neo.somalica (Thomas, 1901) has long been recognized, and the two are sister taxa in our phylogeny. Based on our genetic and morphometric analyses presented above, we have expanded this genus further to include the following species: Neo. guineensis (Bocage, 1889), Neo. anchietae (Seabra, 1900) and Neo. bemainty (Goodman et al., 2015). These are all small-sized pipistrelle-like bats with a distinct bacular morphology (Fig. 5B). The baculum (~1.5&#x2013;2.0 mm in length) is shorter than in Pseudoromicia and similar in length to that of Laephotis and Afronycteris. It has a characteristic shape, with a thick base that is weakly bilobed, a shaft with a straight outer margin and slightly curved inner margin, and a unique three-pronged (cross-shaped) tip that is set at a slight angle to the shaft (Fig. 5B). They also have a more inflated braincase than Laephotis, but not as inflated as Afronycteris, from which they differ in many other respects (for more details, see the description in the account of Afronycteris). They lack the white wings of Pseudoromicia and have bicoloured fur on both the upper and under parts. All five species are essentially savanna or woodland species, with four occurring in southern and eastern Africa and Madagascar.</description><description>Published as part of Monadjem, Ara, Demos, Terrence C., Dalton, Desire L., Webala, Paul W., Musila, Simon, Kerbis Peterhans, Julian C. &amp; Patterson, Bruce D., 2021, A revision of pipistrelle-like bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) in East Africa with the description of new genera and species, pp. 1114-1146 in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society (Zool.

Description: This genus was originally created for the species Neo. zuluensis, based on it having ‘the cranium slightly raised above the level of the muzzle’ (Roberts, 1926).

Based on our genetic and morphometric analyses presented above, we have expanded this genus further to include the following species: Neo. guineensis (Bocage, 1889), Neo. anchietae (Seabra, 1900) and Neo. bemainty (Goodman et al., 2015).
