Trevor's free-tailed bat (Mops trevori) is a bat of the family Molossidae found in Central and West Africa. It was described as a new species in 1917 by the American zoologist Joel Asaph Allen from a specimen collected by James Chapin at Faradje, and it is named for John Bond Trevor, a trustee of the American Museum of Natural History. Its forearm is 51 to 55 millimetres long, its flight membranes are dark brown and its fur ranges from sepia to yellowish or rusty brown. It lives in subtropical or tropical dry forest and moist savanna. The International Union for Conservation of Nature rates it Data Deficient, little is known of its biology, and its population is believed to be decreasing.
