European Free-tailed Bat – Tadarida teniotis

Tadarida teniotisRafinesque, 1814

Accepted name, Mammal Species of the World 2005

teniotis species group. Revised by Aellen (1966) and Kock and Nader (1984), although both included insignis in this complex as a subspecies. Does not include insignis; see Yoshiyuki (1989), Yoshiyuki et al. (1989), and Funakoshi and Kunisaki (2000). Does not include latouchei; see Kock (1999a), Funakoshi and Kunisaki (2000), and Helgen and Wilson (2002). May include coecata from Yunnan (China), here considered a synonym of insignis; see Kock (1999). A specimen from India seems clearly referable to teniotis, see Funakoshi and Kunisaki (2000), though also see Kock (1999a). Eastern-most records reviewed by Bates and Harrison (1997) and Helgen and Wilson (2002); Middle Eastern records reviewed by Harrison and Bates (1991); Palearctic forms reviewed by Horácek et al. (2000).
