Nyctophilini is a taxonomic group of bat species, a tribe of the vespertilionid subfamily Vespertilioninae. The alliance isolates two genera, Nyctophilus and Pharotis, referred to as the large-eared bats for the size of these proportionate to the head. Phylogenetic evidence indicates that this tribe is synonymous with Vespertilionini, and thus its genera are now placed there.[1]
