The dubious trumpet-eared bat (Phoniscus aerosus) is a species of vesper bat. It was described as a new species in 1858 by zoologist Robert Fisher Tomes. [1] Tomes placed it in the genus Kerivoula, with a scientific name of Kerivoula aerosa. [2] He gave the type locality as the eastern coast of South Africa, [2] though it is now thought that the specimen's origin was mislabeled and the bat is not considered native to Africa. [1]
Ellis Le Geyt Troughton was the first to assert that the species was likely a member of the genus Phoniscus , not Kerivoula. [3]
