Yellowish myotis explained

The yellowish myotis (Myotis levis), is a vesper bat species from South America. It is found in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay.[1]

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.[2]
