The genus '''''Hypsugo''''' contains many [bat](/source/bat)s referred to as '''pipistrelles''' or '''pipistrelle bats''' (not to be confused with the genus ''[Pipistrellus](/source/Pipistrellus)''). They belong to the family [Vespertilionidae](/source/Vespertilionidae) or vesper bats. They are primarily found throughout Asia, the [Middle East](/source/Middle_East), [Mediterranean Europe](/source/Southern_Europe), and [North Africa](/source/North_Africa) (including the [Canary Islands](/source/Canary_Islands)), with a single (debated) species in [Sub-Saharan Africa](/source/Sub-Saharan_Africa).

A 2019 study reclassified the African species ''[H. crassulus](/source/Broad-headed_pipistrelle)'' and ''[H. eisentrauti](/source/Eisentraut's_pipistrelle)'' (as well as the subspecies ''[H. c. bellieri](/source/Parahypsugo_bellieri)'', which was upgraded to a distinct species) into the newly described genus ''[Parahypsugo](/source/Parahypsugo)''.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Hutterer|first1=Rainer|last2=Decher|first2=Jan|last3=Monadjem|first3=Ara|last4=Astrin|first4=Jonas |name-list-style=amp |date=October 2019|title=A new genus and species of vesper bat from West Africa, with notes on ''Hypsugo'', ''Neoromicia'', and ''Pipistrellus'' (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae)|journal=Acta Chiropterologica|volume=21|issue=1|pages=1–22|doi=10.3161/15081109ACC2019.21.1.001|s2cid=208557701|issn=1508-1109|doi-access=free}}</ref> They have since been reclassified into the genus ''[Nycticeinops](/source/Nycticeinops)''.<ref>{{Cite web|title=ITIS - Report: Nycticeinops|url=https://www.itis.gov/servlet/SingleRpt/SingleRpt?search_topic=TSN&search_value=945882#null|access-date=2022-02-03|website=www.itis.gov}}</ref>
