SPECIES Mops (Mops) congicus
| Author: | J. A. Allen, 1917. | | Citation: | Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 37: 467. | | Common Name: | Congo Free-tailed Bat | | Type Locality: | Dem. Rep. Congo, Oriental, Medje. | | Distribution: | Cameroon, Dem. Rep. Congo, Uganda. Specimens reported from Ghana and Nigeria actually represent trevori (J. Fahr, pers. comm.). Koopman (1993) included "perhaps Gambia" in the distribution, but this was apparently a lapsus for a specimen of demonstrator taken at sea off the coast of Gambia (see Koopman, 1989b). | | Status: | IUCN 2003 and IUCN/SSC Action Plan (2001) – Lower Risk (nt). | | Comments: | Subgenus Mops. Does not include trevori; see Peterson (1972). |
