Chaerephon (bat)
''Chaerephon'' (known as Chaerephon bats or lesser mastiff bats) is a genus of Old World free-tailed bats in the family Molossidae.D.E. Wilson & D.M. Reeder, 2005: Mammal Species of the World: A Taxonomic and Geographic Reference. Third Edition. The Johns Hopkins University Press, Baltimore Molecular sequence data indicates that ''Chaerephon'', '' Mops'' and '' Tadarida'' are not monophyletic taxa. The closest relatives of ''Chaerephon jobimena'' of Madagascar are ''Tadarida aegyptiaca'' of Africa and southwest Asia, and '' Tadarida brasiliensis'' of the Americas, which form a clade believed to be about 9.8 million years old. However, the grouping of ''Chaerephon'' minus ''C. jobimena'' plus ''Mops'' was found to be monophyletic. Species within this genus are: *''Chaerephon atsinanana''Goodman, S. M., Buccas, W., Naidoo, T., Ratrimomanarivo, F., Taylor, P. J., & Lamb, J. (2010). Patterns of morphological and genetic variation in western Indian Ocean members of the Chaerephon'p ...
