| Author: | Rafinesque, 1814. | | Citation: | Precis Som.: 55. | | Type Species: | Cephalotes teniotis Rafinesque, 1814. | | Comments: | Formerly included Chaerephon, Mops, Mormopterus, Nyctinomops, Platymops, and Sauromys, which are here treated as distinct genera. Includes Rhizomops; see Owen et al. (1990), but also see Legendre (1984). Mahoney and Walton (1988) regarded Nyctinomus (here considered a junior synonym of Chaerephon) as an older name for this genus. Species groups follow Koopman (1994). |
