Aeorestes is a subgenus of Lasiurus commonly known as the hoary bats.
==Taxonomy== {{cladogram|align=left|style=width:305px;font-size:85%;line-height:85%|caption=Relationship of the three genera formerly included within Lasiurus, based on an analysis of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA. |cladogram= }} The subgenus was initially described by Austrian zoologist Leopold Fitzinger in 1870. Based on genetic divergence within Lasiurus, Baird et al. recommended that the hoary bats be recognized as a separate genus. They additionally recommended that Dasypterus should be elevated from a subgenus to a genus as well. However, as Lasiurus was previously monophyletic, some authors see the creation of two new genera—Aeorestes and Dasypterus—as a solution to something that was not a problem. Teta advocated using Aeorestes as a subgenus and retaining the usage of Dasypterus as such.
