Eumops Chimaera
''Eumops'' (mastiff bats or bonneted bats) is a genus of bats in the family Molossidae. A total of 17 species of this genus have been described. The name "Eumops" comes from the Greek prefix "Eu-", meaning "good" or "true," and the Malay language, Malayan word "mops," which means bat.Best, T. L., Kiser, W. M., & Freeman, P. W. (1996). Eumops perotis. Systematics Species The following are the seventeen species of ''Eumops''. ''Eumops chimaera'' is the most recently described species of this genus, having been first described in 2016. ''E. wilsoni'' was described first in 2009 by Baker and colleagues. *''Eumops auripendulus, E. auripendulus'' (Shaw, 1800) — black bonneted bat (Shaw's mastiff bat) *''Eumops bonariensis, E. bonariensis'' (Peters, 1874) — dwarf bonneted bat (Peters' mastiff bat) *''Eumops chimaera'' (Gregorin, Moras, Acosta, Vasconcellos, Poma, Rodrigues dos Santos & Paca, 2016) *''Eumops chiribaya, E. chiribaya'' (Medina, Gregorin, Zeballos, Zamora, and ...

Eumops Wilsoni
''Eumops wilsoni'' is a species of bat native to Ecuador and Peru. The bat has a distinct karyotype, sequence of the mitochondrial cytochrome-b gene, and other distinct genetic markers that distinguish it from closely related bats such as ''Eumops glaucinus'' and ''Eumops ferox''. However, there are no morphological distinctions from those related species and thus there is uncertainty of its geographic distribution and population status, leading to its classification as "data deficient". Local threats to the bat's dry forest habitat further impede efforts to study the bats. Transition to farmland and urbanization threatens the dry forest habitat of the bat in the Andes. As an endemic species, the bat may be threatened by this habitat loss. Taxonomy and etymology It was described as a new species in 2009 as the result of a taxonomic split in Wagner's bonneted bat. The holotype was collected in Guayas Province, Ecuador in 2004. It is one of four members of the Wagner's bonnne ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eumops Maurus
The Guianan bonneted bat, or Thomas's mastiff bat, (''Eumops maurus'') is a species of free-tailed bat from South America. It is poorly understood, because it is difficult to capture, and may be one of the rarest Neotropical bats. Description The Guianan bonneted bat appears similar to other mastiff bats, with a body about long, and a tail measuring about . The fur is dark chocolate brown in colour, and only slightly paler on the underside than on the rest of the body. The most distinctive feature is a narrow band of white hair running along each flank to the forward part of the mesopatagium. The ears are large and rounded, positioned close together at the base, and mostly hairless, with a small tragus and long antitragus. The wings have narrow tips, and are covered in fur to about half the way along the humerus and femur. The uropatagium is also furred for about a third of its area, and is bounded by long calcars running for about three quarters of the length of the membr ...

Eumops Hansae
Sanborn's bonneted bat (''Eumops hansae''), is a bat species from South and Central America. It was first described from a specimen collected at Colonia Hansa, Brazil, and is sometimes also known as the Hansa bonneted bat. Description Sanborn's species is one of the smaller bonneted bats, measuring around in total length, including the tail, and weighing . They have rich blackish-brown fur, which is paler on the belly, and which allows it to be distinguished from the similarly sized, but more lightly coloured, dwarf bonneted bats that live in the same general area. Other distinctive features of the species include narrow wing tips, relatively well-developed teeth at the back of the jaw, and a higher jaw joint than in its close relatives. As with other molossid bats, the tail extends beyond the margin of the wing membranes, and, in this species, is typically about in length. Distribution and behaviour Sanborn's bonneted bat is patchily distributed across Central America, and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Eumops Dabbenei
The big bonneted bat, or Dabbene's mastiff bat (''Eumops dabbenei'') is a species of bat in the family Molossidae, native to South America. It is named for a former conservator at the Buenos Aires National Museum. Description The big bonneted bat is a relatively large bat species, with adults measuring about in length, and weighing . The tail is thick, and measures about in length. The fur is chestnut or pale grey, and lighter on the animal's underparts. The ears are broad and relatively short, and join together at their base in the centre of the forehead. Compared with other nearby species of bonneted bat, they have a larger body, a short, wide snout, short ears, and nostrils that do not form a tube. As in other bonneted bats, the males possess a gland on the throat that secretes a liquid that stains and mats the surrounding fur. Distribution and habitat Big bonneted bats are known from two distinct parts of South America. A northern population is known from Venezuela and C ...

Eumops Bonariensis
The dwarf bonneted bat, or Peters' mastiff bat, (''Eumops bonariensis''), is a bat species from South and Central America. Description As its common name implies, ''E. bonariensis'' is the smallest species of bonneted bat. Adults measure in total length, and typically weigh between . However, there is a significant variation in size between the different subspecies, with the smallest, ''E. b. nanus'', weighing as little as . The fur is thick and silky, and ranges from cinnamon to dark chocolate brown, being noticeably paler on the underside of the body. The head has a broad snout with a fringe of stiff hairs on the upper lip, and long, wide, ears connected by a small membrane. The wing membranes are black, but are covered with sparse hairs close to the arms. Males have been observed to have glands on the throat that become enlarged during the breeding season.

Eumops Auripendulus
The black bonneted bat, also known as Shaw's mastiff bat, (''Eumops auripendulus''), is a species of bat from the Americas. Description The black-bonneted bat is a medium-sized bat, with adults weighing between . The head and back are covered in dark brown fur that varies from reddish to almost black, while the sides and underparts are a paler, grey, colour. The ears are large and rounded, with a small, pointed tragus and dark, hairless skin. The wing membranes are also dark, and have narrow tips; the fur extends across the upper surface of the wing up to a line between the knees and the midpoint of the humerus. The face is almost entirely hairless, and ends in a blunt muzzle. Adult males possess a sacular organ on the throat, the function of which is unknown, but which is only vestigial in females. The bat most closely resembles the related Wagner's bonneted bat, but the latter usually has a paler colour and has a different shape to the tragus. Distribution and habitat The bla ...
