Lesson plan
Molossops
Molossops (meaning: false molossus bat) is a genus of bat in the family Molossidae. The four member species are found in nearly every country of South America, with the dwarf dog-faced bat being found in the most countries. It contains only two species: * Rufous dog-faced bat (Molossops neglectus) * Dwarf dog-faced bat (Molossops temminckii) Judith L. Eger writes that the genus only consists of M. neglectus and M. temminckii; M. aequatorianus (= Cabreramops ) and M. mattogrossensis (= Neoplatymops ) were incorrectly assigned to this genus.
