For the Australian myotis, see Myotis macropus.

The southern myotis (Myotis aelleni) is a species of vesper bat. It is found in Argentina and Australia.

Based on qualitative and quantitative analyses of type specimens, Novaes, Wilson, Ruedi and Moratelli treat this taxon as a junior synonym of Myotis chiloensis.[2]
