The yellowish myotis (Myotis levis), is a vesper bat species from South America. It is found in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. [2]
Dinelli's myotis (M. dinellii) was formerly considered a subspecies of M. levis, but was split as a distinct species by a 2013 study, which found significant genetic and morphological differences between both taxa. [3]
The whiskered bat is a small European bat with long fur. Although uncommon, M. mystacinus is often found around human habitation and around water; it is similar to Brandt's bat, from which it was distinguished as a separate species only in 1970.

Myotinae is a subfamily of vesper bats. It contains three genera: Eudiscopus, Myotis, and Submyotodon. Before the description of Submyotodon and analysis of its phylogenetics, as well as a phylogenetic analysis of Eudiscopus, the only member of Myotinae was Myotis.
The Alcathoe bat is a European bat in the genus Myotis. Known only from Greece and Hungary when it was first described in 2001, its known distribution has since expanded as far as Portugal, England, Sweden, and Russia. It is similar to the whiskered bat and other species and is difficult to distinguish from them. However, its brown fur is distinctive and it is clearly different in characters of its karyotype and DNA sequences. It is most closely related to Myotis hyrcanicus from Iran, but otherwise has no close relatives.
Myotis midastactus is a golden-coloured species of vesper bats from South America, where it occurs in Bolivia and Paraguay. The characteristic golden fur of the bat distinguishes it from other South American bats.
