S. caliginosus S. latirostris S. moupinensis Submyotodon is a genus of vespertilionid bats, published as a new taxon in 2003 to describe a Miocene fossil species.

Extant species and subspecies previously included in Myotis were later transferred to this genus.

[1][2] Submyotodon was described as a new genus of bat in 2003, based on fossil specimens found near Eichstätt, Germany.

The genus name Submyotodon is from the Latin prefix sub ('under' or 'close to'), + the Greek roots μῦς (mûs, 'mouse') + οὖς (oûs, ot-, 'ear') + ὀδόντος (odóntos, -odont, 'tooth').

Before the description of Submyotodon and analysis of its phylogenetics, the only member of Myotinae was the genus Myotis.
