Discussion: Often included in Nycticeius , but see Kitchener and Caputi (1985) and Volleth and Tidemann (1991). The latter authors suggested that Scotorepens may be more closely related to Vespertilionini than Nycticeiini . Revised by Kichener and Caputi (1985), who provided a key to the species. An undescribed species of Scotorepens may be present in E Australia; see Menkhorst and Knight (2001).
