Cynomops Kuizha
''Cynomops'' is a genus of Central and South American dog-faced bat Bats are mammals of the order Chiroptera.''cheir'', "hand" and πτερόν''pteron'', "wing". With their forelimbs adapted as wings, they are the only mammals capable of true and sustained flight. Bats are more agile in flight than most bi ...s in the family Molossidae.

Cynomops Mexicanus
The Mexican dog-faced bat (''Cynomops mexicanus'') is a bat species of the family Molossidae from Central America. It is found from Nayarit in Mexico to Costa Rica at elevations up to 1500 m. It was formerly considered a subspecies of '' C. greenhalli''. It roosts in deciduous and evergreen forest, and is usually found near small bodies of water. Taxonomy and etymology It was described as a subspecies of Greenhall's dog-faced bat (''Cynomops greenhalli'') in 1967 by Jones and Genoways. At the time, Greenhall's dog-faced bat was in the genus '' Molossops'', so the Mexican dog-faced bat initially had the trinomen ''Molossops greenhalli mexicanus''. When ''Cynomops'' was recognized as a valid genus rather than a subgenus of ''Molossops'', Greenhall's dog-faced bat became part of the new genus. However, it wasn't until 2002 that the Mexican dog-faced bat was promoted to full species status. It is the most basal member of ''Cynomops''. Its species name "'' mexicanus''" is Latin m ...

Cynomops Milleri
''Cynomops milleri'' is a species of bat that is native to South America. It was previously considered a subspecies of the Para dog-faced bat. It is considered a small- to medium-sized member of its genus.Moras, L. M., Tavares, V. D. C., Pepato, A. R., Santos, F. R., & Gregorin, R. (2016). Reassessment of the evolutionary relationships within the dog‐faced bats, genus Cynomops (Chiroptera: Molossidae). Zoologica Scripta, 45(5), 465-480. It is classified as least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature because it appears to be common and widespread. It is found in Venezuela, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, Brazil, and Peru.Eger, J.L. 2008. Family Molossidae. In: A.L. Gardner (ed.), Mammals of South America. Volume I. Marsupials, xenarthrans, shrews, and bats, pp. 399–440. University of Chicago Press, Chicago and London. Taxonomy ''Cynomops milleri'' was described as a new species in 1914 by American zoologist Wilfred Hudson Osgood. Osgood initially pla ...

Cynomops Paranus
The Para dog-faced bat (''Cynomops paranus''), also called the brown dog-faced bat, is a South American bat species of the family Molossidae. It is found in Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, Brazil, and northern Argentina. Taxonomy and etymology It was described as a subspecies of the southern dog-faced bat, ''Cynomops planirostris''. Its trinomen was ''Molossus planirostris paranus'' (at the time, the southern dog-faced bat was ''Molossus planirostris''). In 1998, it was split from the southern dog-faced bat, and was elevated to its own species, ''Cynomops paranus''. Its species name "''paranus''" refers to the Brazilian state of Pará. Thomas obtained the specimens used to describe the taxa from the Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi located in Belém, Pará. Description Overall, it is similar in appearance to the southern dog-faced bat. The fur of its chest and belly are darker in color. It is a small species of bat, with a forear ...

Cynomops Abrasus
The cinnamon dog-faced bat (''Cynomops abrasus''), is a South American bat species of the family Molossidae. It is found in northern and central South America. Taxonomy The bat belongs to the genus ''Cynomops'', which was recently split from the genus '' Molossops''. There are four recognised subspecies: * ''Cynomops abrasus abrasus'' (Temminck, 1827) * ''C. a. brachymeles'' ( Peters, 1866) * ''C. a. cerastes'' (Thomas, 1901) * ''C. a. mastivus'' (Thomas, 1911) Description The dorsal fur is brown, dark brown or chestnut. The ventral fur is similar in color to the dorsal fur. A dense patch of fur is present on the wing, located on the top back third of the forearm and propatagial membrane. There is also a second patch of fur on the bottom, back three-quarters of the forearm that extends across the patagium near the wrist to the base of the fourth metacarpal. These patches are darker in color than the membrane. The bats have a broad face with widely separated ears. There ...
