Allen's yellow bat (Baeodon alleni) is a species of vesper bat. There is some taxonomic debate surrounding this species, with some authors considering Baeodon a genus rather than a subgenus. It is endemic to Mexico.

Taxonomy and etymology

It was described as a new species in 1892 by British zoologist Oldfield Thomas. Thomas noted that the eponym for the species name "alleni" was Harrison Allen, calling him "the chief authority on North-American bats." In 1906, Gerrit Smith Miller Jr. placed Allen's yellow bat into a newly-coined genus, Baeodon. At present, some authors keep Allen's yellow bat as part of Rhogeessa within the subgenus Baeodon, while others believe that it is distinct enough that Baeodon should be considered a monotypic genus rather than a subgenus.
