“ Comparisons.—Among named kinds of Myotis, M. elegans shows most resemblance to the species M. californicus and M. subulatus. Differences from the latter include shorter tail and ear, more golden color on underparts, pale (not blackish) lips, ears and flight membranes, more slender tragus, shorter skull, posterior border of P4 (in occlusal view) more deeply notched, and longitudinal dorsal profile of skull higher in frontal and lambdoidal regions. ”
