Arielulus is a genus of vesper bats with the following species:[1]

Genus Arielulus

Bronze sprite (A. circumdatus)
Coppery sprite (A. cuprosus)

The collared sprite (T. aureocollaris) and necklace sprite (T. torquatus) in the genus Thainycteris were formerly also classified in Arielulus, but phylogenetic evidence supports them forming a distinct genus.[2][3]
