Genus Myotis Kaup, 1829

Eight species of the Genus Myotis represent the Subfamily Myotinae in Korea, including the recently reported cryptic species M. davidii . Although Subgenera Myotis, Leuconoe, and Selysius are identified, no consensus exists on the subgenera (Simmons 2005). For the Genus Myotis, we followed the English common name of ‘Myotis’ from Wilson and Reeder (2005). The common name ‘Whiskered Bat’ has also been common usage for this genus.
