Status:IUCN 2003 and IUCN/SSC Action Plan (2001) – Lower Risk (lc).
Comments:Subgenus Liponycteris. Includes kachhensis; see Felten (1962) and Bates and Harrison (1997). Formerly included in genus Liponycteris; see Hayman and Hill (1977). Reviewed in part by Bates et al. (1994) as kachhensis. Also see Harrison and Bates (1991). May include serratus Heuglin, 1877, an enigmatic taxon variously referred to either Taphozous nudiventris (e.g., G. M. Allen, 1939; Koopman, 1993) or Scotophilus leucogaster (e.g., G. M. Allen, 1939; Koopman, 1975) but which may not represent either of those species.
