| Popis: | Mops mops (Blainville, 1840) Malayan free-tailed bat Molossus mops Blainville, 1840: 101, Sumatra. New Material PSU-M 05.9 (field no. SB030508.8), ♂, 8 May 2003, Ai-kading stream, Bala Forest, Hala-Bala Wildlife Sanctuary, Wang Dis- trict, Narathiwat Province, 05°48’9”N, 101°49’15”E, collected by S. Bumrungsri and members of the Hala-Bala bat research team. Taxonomic Notes As only a photograph (Fig. 2f) but not the skin is available, this description of the Thai specimen is based on the skull. The skull, with a condylo-canine length of 18.4 mm (Table 5) is large and has broad zygo- mata. The braincase is inflated anteriorly and the sagittal and lambdoid crests are prominent. The palatal branches of the pre- maxillae are ossified and fused anteriorly; the two small anterior palatal foramina are isolated. The lachrymal projections are prominent. The small ‘first’upper premolar (P 2) is absent, and the canine (C 1) is in con- tact with the ‘second’upper premolar (P 4). The third upper molar (M 3) is reduced and flattened antero-posteriorly, with its second commissure greatly shortened, the meso- style reduced and the metastyle absent. In the lower dentition, the premolars are com- pressed in the toothrow; the first (P 2) is about equal in crown area to the second (P 4). Distribution and Ecological Notes Mops mops is found in peninsular Ma- laysia, Sumatra and Borneo (Corbet and Hill, 1992). The record from Java is doubt- ful (Hill, 1961). This species was captured in the same mist net and almost at the same time as P. stenopterus (see above). Cheiromeles tor- quatus was also collected from this locality. Medway (1969) considered this to be a gre- garious bat that roosts in dead or hollow trees and is often associated with the naked bat, C. torquatus.
