The mouse-eared bats or myotises are a diverse and widespread genus (Myotis) of bats within the family Vespertilionidae. The noun " myotis " itself is a Neo-Latin construction, from the Greek " muós (meaning "mouse") and " oûs " (meaning ear), literally translating to "mouse-eared".
The 121 extant species of Myotinae are divided between three genera: Eudiscopus and Submyotodon with one species each, and Myotis, or the mouse-eared bats, with the other 119. A few extinct prehistoric myotine species have been discovered, though due to ongoing research and discoveries the exact number and categorization is not fixed.

[3] It has a 40 cm wingspan, with a forearm length of 6 cm, and a 4 to 5 cm long tail.
