Malayan free-tailed bat

The Malayan free-tailed bat (Mops mops) is a species of bat in the family Molossidae. English Wikipedia states that it is found in Indonesia and Malaysia, which places it in the Malay region of Southeast Asia. The GBIF taxonomic backbone accepts the name and credits the original description to de Blainville, 1840, with the authority in parentheses to show that the species was first described in a different genus before it was moved into Mops. The GBIF record of the IUCN Red List category lists it as Near Threatened, meaning it is close to qualifying for a threatened category without yet meeting the thresholds. The sources read do not describe its diet, roosting habits or population size, so this entry states only its classification, range and conservation category.
