Invalid (junior homonym of Vespertilio cinnamomeus Wagner, 1855) (Hall & Dalquest, 1950; Findley & Jones, 1967). Novel replacement name not necessary because Myotis fortidens Miller & Allen, 1928 is an available name (Findley & Jones, 1967), making Myotis cinnamomeus Miller, 1902 a subjective synonym of Myotis fortidens fortidens Miller & Allen, 1928.
