GENUS Cynomops
Author: | Thomas, 1920. | Citation: | Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 9, 5: 189. | Type Species: | Molossus cerastes Thomas, 1901 (= Vespertilio abrasus Temminck, 1827). | Comments: | Often considered a subgenus of Molossops, but here treated as distinct at the genus level following Barquez et al. (1993), Peterson et al. (1995), Solari et al. (1999), Reid et al. (2000), Barquez and Diaz (2001), and Peters et al. (2002); also see Gardner (1977) and Freeman (1981). See Simmons and Voss (1998) and Peters et al. (2002) for diagnoses and reviews of species, but note that the former authors did not treat mexicanus as a species distinct from greenhalli. |
