''Chaerephon'' is a genus of Old World free-tail bats in the family Molossidae.〔D.E. Wilson & D.M. Reeder, 2005: Mammal Species of the World: A Taxonomic and Geographic Reference. Third Edition. The Johns Hopkins University Press, Baltimore〕 Molecular sequence data indicates that ''Chaerephon'', ''Mops'' and ''Tadarida'' are not monophyletic taxa. The closest relatives of ''Chaerephon jobimena'' of Madagascar are ''Tadarida aegyptiaca'' of Africa and southwest Asia, and ''Tadarida brasiliensis'' of the Americas, which form a clade believed to be about 9.8 million years old. However, the grouping of ''Chaerephon'' minus ''C. jobimena'' plus ''Mops'' was found to be monophyletic. Species within this genus are: *''Chaerephon atsinanana''〔http://www.mapress.com/zootaxa/2010/f/z02551p036f.pdf〕 *Duke of Abruzzi's free-tailed bat, ''Chaerephon aloysiisabaudiae'' *Ansorge's free-tailed bat, ''Chaerephon ansorgei'' *Gland-tailed free-tailed bat, ''Chaerephon bemmeleni'' *Spotted free-tailed bat, ''Chaerephon bivittata'' *Fijian mastiff bat, ''Chaerephon bregullae'' *Chapin's free-tailed bat, ''Chaerephon chapini'' *Gallagher's free-tailed bat, ''Chaerephon gallagheri'' *Northern freetail bat, ''Chaerephon jobensis'' *Black and red free-tailed bat, ''Chaerephon jobimena'' *Northern free-tailed bat, ''Chaerephon johorensis'' *Grandidier's free-tailed bat, ''Chaerephon leucogaster'' *Lappet-eared free-tailed bat, ''Chaerephon major'' *Nigerian free-tailed bat, ''Chaerephon nigeriae'' *Wrinkle-lipped free-tailed bat, ''Chaerephon plicata'' *Little free-tailed bat, ''Chaerephon pumila'' *Russet free-tailed bat, ''Chaerephon russata'' *Shortridge's free-tailed bat, ''Chaerephon shortridgei'' *Solomons mastiff bat, ''Chaerephon solomonis'' *São Tomé free-tailed bat, ''Chaerephon tomensis'' ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chaerephon (bat)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
