Females average larger. Pelage of Rendall’s Serotine is fluffy, without sheen; dorsally pale to medium pale brown (hairs are fawn with dark brown at base, sometimes reddish at tip, or with basal one-third dark grayish brown, middle one-third beige, and terminal one-third fawn; mid-dorsal hairs are c. 5—6 mm long); ventrally cream, whitish or pale gray (hairs with basal one-half dark grayish brown or pure white). Wings and interfemoral membrane are creamy white, with brownish-pink skin over bones, cream venation lines; wings are translucent and interfemoral membrane is more heavily pigmented. Ears are pale brown, subtriangular, with rounded tips; tragus is about one-half ear length and broadest above midheight, with anterior margin straight for most of length,slightly concave near rounded tip, and posterior margin smoothly convex, with a triangular basal lobe. Postcalcarial lobe is present. Skull is moderate-sized for an African pipistrelle-like bat (greatest skull lengths 12:3-14-4 mm); braincase has intermediate size relative to height and breadth; profile of forehead region is straight; occipital helmetis low. I* is unicuspid, with small basal cusp; I’ is one-half height of I, triangular in transverse section, and sometimes with small basal cusp at one or both angles; P* is absent; lower molars are myotodont.

Reported over ditches and small ponds, flying over permanent freshwater pools in gallery forest, and from well-watered habitats.	Rendall’s Serotine forages for small insects by slow hawking, ¢. 2 m aboveground.	Litter size is two. In KwaZulu-Natal , eastern South Africa , a female captured in December was simultaneously lactating and pregnant with two embryos, suggesting possible polyestry with postpartum estrus. In Garamba National Park, north-eastern DR Congo , a female with two juveniles was recorded in late April. In Malawi , of two females captured in April one was lactating, the other post-lactating.	Rendall’s Serotine begins to forage in early evening around houses, or low over swamps, pools, pans, and rivers. It roosts by day in dense foliage of low bushes and trees, in huts and houses, and also among leaves of Hyphaene ( Arecaceae ) palms in Sudan and southern Malawi . Aspect ratio and wing loading are low; flight is slow, with bursts of speed, and poor maneuverability; wings make distinct whirring noise during flight. In Malawi , search-phase call shapes include CF, shallow linear FM, and steep/shallow FM; intensity high, with start frequencies up to 76 kHz and end frequencies of 42-44 kHz.

No subspecies are recognised. The possibility that the population from South Africa and Mozambique is taxonomically distinct should be investigated.	20000000	Neoromicia rendalli	Least Concern		2017	2016-08-31 00:00:00 UTC	3.1	English	Listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution, presumed large population, and because it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category	This species has been recorded from moist and dry savanna, moist and dry tropical shrubland, and deforested areas of formerly tropical moist lowland forest. Roosting sites include tree holes, dense foliage, thatched huts, brick walls and rafters.	In general there appear to be no major threats to this species. In some parts of its range, this species is threatened by the conversion of its habitat to agricultural use.	This appears to be a locally rare species, usually occurring as moderately small colonies of several individuals up to a few dozen animals.	Unknown	This species has been widely, but patchily, recorded over much of sub-Saharan Africa. It ranges from Senegal in the west, through West and Central Africa to Somalia in the east, and as far south as eastern South Africa.		Terrestrial	There appear to be no direct conservation measures in place. It is not known if the species is present in any protected areas. Further research is needed into the distribution of this patchily recorded species.	Afrotropical		FALSE	FALSE	Global	Simmons, N. B., & Cirranello, A. L. (2023).
