The elegant myotis (Myotis elegans) is a species of vesper bat found in Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua.

Its ears are pale brown, and its flight membranes are slightly darker than its fur.

[2][3] When compared to the California Myotis (M. californicus) and the Western small-footed bat (M. ciliolabrum), M. elegans has a shorter tail, a more pronounced golden color on its underparts, a deeper notch in their tragus, and a shorter skull.

[3] Based on fecal analysis, M. elegans is known to prey on insects of the Lepidoptera, Coleoptera and Diptera orders.

[5][6] Due to low sample size in existing studies, it is likely not a complete list of prey items for this species.
