Cistugo

Wikipedia Abstract

Cistugo is a genus of bats from southern Africa. The two species have historically been included in the genus Myotis (family Vespertilionidae), but molecular studies show that the genus is distinct from all other Vespertilionidae, and in fact distinctive enough to be placed in its own family, Cistugidae. The two species are: \n* Cistugo lesueuri Roberts, 1919 – Lesotho and southern South Africa \n* Cistugo seabrai Thomas, 1912 – southwestern Angola through Namibia and northwestern South Africa
