Discussion: Formerly included Chaerephon , Mops , Mormopterus , Nyctinomops , Platymops , and Sauromys , which are here treated as distinct genera. Includes Rhizomops ; see Owen et al. (1990), but also see Legendre (1984). Mahoney and Walton (1988) regarded Nyctinomus (here considered a junior synonym of Chaerephon ) as an older name for this genus. Species groups follow Koopman (1994).
