| | Iheringia. Série Zoologia - Comparative morphology of the tongue in free-tailed bats (Chiroptera, Molossidae) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25) |
 | | Evolutionary relationships in molossids proposed by FREEMAN (1981a) were based on skull, dentition, and external morphology. |
 | | This author has proposed two distinctive branches to the family: one composed by Molossops (including Cynomops Thomas, 1920, Neoplatymops Peterson, 1965, and Cabreramops Ibanéz, 1980 as subgenera), Mormopterus (including Platymops Thomas, 1906 and Sauromys Roberts, 1917 as subgenera), Myopterus E. |
 | | The other lineage includes the remaining taxa, with Tadarida being the most basal in this branch, and Molossus and Eumops being closely related and the most derived of them. |
