GENUS Mormopterus

Author:Peters, 1865.
Citation:Monatsb. K. Preuss. Akad. Wiss. Berlin, 1865: 258.
Type Species:Nyctinomus (Mormopterus) jugularis Peters, 1865.
Comments:Formerly included in Tadarida but apparently distinct; see Koopman (1975) and Legendre (1984), but also see Freeman (1981). Does not include Platymops and Sauromys; see Corbet and Hill (1992) and Peterson et al. (1995). Species groups follow Koopman (1994). This genus apparently includes at least seven undescribed species in Australia; see Adams et al. (1988), Churchill (1998), and Menkhorst and Knight (2001). These forms have already been given common names (Churchill, 1998): Eastern Freetail Bat, Inland Freetail Bat, Little Northern Freetail Bat, Little Western Freetail Bat, Southern Freetail Bat, Western Freetail Bat, and Hairy-nosed Freetail Bat.
