Lasiurini is a tribe of bats in the family Vespertilionidae. It contains three genera of bats found in the Americas. All three genera were previously considered one genus, Lasiurus , but have since been split from one another. However, the validity of this split is still debated. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}
