Vespertilio pygmaeus Leach, 1825, “Spitchweek [= Spitchwick], near the forest of Dartmoor,” Devon, United Kingdom. Pipistrellus pygmaeus has generally been included as a subspecies of P. pipistrellus; however, following a number of genetic studies that were supported by morphological data, the two species were separated in the 1990s. Genetic data place P. pygmaeus close to P. creticus and P. hanaki. Recently described subspecies cyprius might represent a distinct species because it is very distinct morphologically and fairly distinct genetically. Two subspecies recognized.
