Parahypsugo
Parahypsugo is a genus of bat in the family Vespertilionidae. Members of this genus are distributed throughout sub-Saharan Africa, and were formerly classified in either "Pipistrellus", "Neoromicia", or "Hypsugo" until being reclassified into the new genus "Parahypsugo" in a 2019 study. The study also described a new species in the genus, named "P. happoldorum", and also found the subspecies "Pipistrellus eisentrauti bellieri" to constitute a separate species within "Parahypsugo". The name of the genus roughly translates to "near "Hypsugo"", which references the close genetic and morphological relationship between this genus and "Hypsugo".
