A record from Mozambique is dubious (Koopman, 1993, 1994). Conservation: IUCN 2003 and IUCN / SSC Action Plan (2001) – Lower Risk (lc). Discussion: Formerly included furvus and velutinus , but these appear to be distinct; see Yoshiyuki (1989), but also see Corbet (1978 c ) and Corbet and Hill (1992). Does not include sinensis , which was recognized as a senior synonym of Vespertilio superans by Horácek (1997).
