The genus Vespertilio of Linnaeus contained, as already 

 shown, none of the 38-toothed bats to wliicli the name is 

 generally applied. For these bats therefore the name must 

 be replaced by Myotis^ Kau]), the first based on a member of 

 this group. Hence the genus Vespertilio of authors becomes 



M-^OTis, Kaup, 1829.
