Pseudoromicia is a genus of vesper bat in the family Vespertilionidae. All species in this genus are native to sub-Saharan Africa.[1][2]
It contains the following species:
- Dark-brown serotine, Pseudoromicia brunnea
- Isabelline serotine, Pseudoromicia isabella
- Kityo's serotine, Pseudoromicia kityoi
- Mbam Minkom Serotine, Pseudoromicia mbamminkom
- Nyanza serotine, Pseudoromicia nyanza
- Rendall's serotine, Pseudoromicia rendalli
- Rosevear's serotine, Pseudoromicia roseveari[3]
- White-winged serotine, Pseudoromicia tenuipinnis
All species in this genus were previously classified in the genus Neoromicia until a 2020 study found them to form a distinct genus sister to Afronycteris, and they were thus reclassified in the new genus Pseudoromicia.[1][2]
