Mormopterus
''Mormopterus'' is a genus of molossid microchiropterans, small flying mammals referred to as free-tailed bats. The genus has been the subject of several revisions, and the diversity of taxa centred on Australia were separated to a new genus ''Ozimops'', and two monotypic genera, '' Setirostris'' and '' Micronomus''. The species of ''Mormopterus'', in this stricter sense, are only found in areas outside of Australia and West Papua. Taxonomy A description of the genus was published in 1865 by Wilhelm Peters, as a new subgenus allied to '' Nyctinomus''. While the species-level taxonomy became better resolved, the integrity of the genus ''Mormopterus'' as it stood was less clear and molecular sequencing data indicated that ''Mormopterus'' was paraphyletic. The closest relatives of '' M. kalinowski'' are members of '' Nyctinomops''. Further phylogenetic work is required to resolve the relationships of the species’ groups from the three regional areas, and what their relationshi ...

Mormopterus Eleryi
''Setirostris eleryi'' is a species of small insectivorous bat found in inland eastern Australia. It is the sole species of the molossid genus ''Setirostris'', a name that refers to the coarse bristles on their faces. Earlier common names have referred to this unique feature, and the 'free-tail' that is a common feature of its microchiropteran family, the Molossidae; no single common name emerged during the taxonomic revisions that identified what was referred to as the bristle-faced freetail. ''Setirostris eleryi'' differs from all other bats in the family by possessing unique dentition and genital morphology, a distinctive echolocation call structure, and notably smaller body size of around . The presence of stout bristles on the thin muzzle and face of ''S. eleryi'' distinguishes them from similar genus ''Ozimops'', once regarded as "''Mormopterus'' species", that previously included parts of the population. The description, first published in 2008, emerged from a compariso ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
