English: Greater Mastiff Bats
Mops (mastiff bats or free-tailed bats) is a genus of bats in the family Molossidae. Molecular sequence data indicates that Mops and Chaerephon are not monophyletic taxa. However, the grouping of Chaerephon and Mops was found to be monophyletic when excluding C. jobimena.[1]
