Molossus View in CoL

The lack of modern revisionary treatment of the South American forms of Molossus is a major impediment for identification. We found several references to be useful, however, including Miller (1913), Goodwin and Greenhall (1961, 1964), Husson (1962, 1978) and, especially, Dolan (1989). In addition, we consulted original descriptions and available holotypes to confirm our species determinations.
