Mops (Mops) congicus J. A. Allen 1917 View in CoL , Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 37: 467.

Type Locality: Dem. Rep. Congo, Oriental, Medje.

Vernacular Names: Congo Free-tailed Bat.

Distribution: Cameroon, Dem. Rep. Congo, Uganda. Specimens reported from Ghana and Nigeria actually represent trevori (J. Fahr, pers. comm.). Koopman (1993) included "perhaps Gambia " in the distribution, but this was apparently a lapsus for a specimen of demonstrator taken at sea off the coast of Gambia (see Koopman, 1989 b).

Conservation: IUCN 2003 and IUCN / SSC Action Plan (2001) – Lower Risk (nt).

Discussion: Subgenus Mops . Does not include trevori ; see Peterson (1972).
