Spotted free-tailed bat

Mammals

The spotted free-tailed bat (Mops bivittatus) is a species of bat in the family Molossidae, the free-tailed bats. It is found in Burundi, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Its natural habitats are dry savanna, moist savanna and rocky areas. It was described by Theodor von Heuglin in 1861, with its type locality at Keren in Eritrea. Mammal Species of the World files it as Chaerephon bivittatus and notes that the correct spelling of the epithet in that genus is bivittatus because the genus name is masculine, that it belongs to the bivittatus species group of Chaerephon, and that the group was revised by Eger and Peterson in 1979. The infobox of its English Wikipedia article gives its present IUCN status as Least Concern.
