The gland-tailed free-tailed bat, Mops bemmeleni, is a bat of the family Molossidae found in several countries of West and Central Africa, including Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Guinea, Kenya, Liberia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda. Its habitats include subtropical or tropical moist montane forest, dry savanna and caves, and it has not been recorded above about 1,700 metres. Fredericus Jentink described it in 1879 as Nyctinomus bemmeleni and named it for the Dutch naturalist Adriaan van Bemmelen, who gave the type specimen to the Leyden Museum. It has smoky dark brown back fur, yellowish brown underparts, a very wrinkled upper lip, a small triangular tragus, 36 teeth, and, in males, a gular gland. The IUCN rates it Least Concern because its range is large, its population is presumed large and its range includes protected areas.
