A NEW SPECIES OF BAT OF THE GENUS MOLOSSOPS (MAMMALIA: MOLOSSIDAE) STEPHEN L. WILLIAMS Collection Manager, Section of Mammals HUGH H. GENOWAYS Curator, Section of Mammals ABSTRACT A new species of molossid bat of the genus Molossops is described from Suriname. The new species is a member of the subgenus Molossops where it is distinguished from the other two member species, temminckii and aequatorianus, by larger external and cranial size. A single specimen of the species was taken in northern Suriname in an area of savannah and secondary forest. INTRODUCTION Three species of the molossid genus Molossops (planirostris, greenhalli, and abrasus) are included in the 85 species of bats known to occur in Suriname (Husson, 1962, 1978; Genoways and Williams, 1979; Williams and Genoways, 1980). Among the specimens taken during our expedition to Suriname in 1977 is a specimen of Molossops that apparently does not belong to one of these species or any other described species in the genus. Our study of the relationship of the new species has led us to review the relationships of Molossops and Cynomops. We have concluded Submitted for publication 6 June 1980. 487

1980 WILLIAMS AND GENOWAYS--NEW SPECIES OF MOLOSSOPS 489 that these taxa should be considered as distinct subgenera as was done by Cabrera (1958) and Goodwin and Greenhall (1961) based primarily upon the characters given by Thomas (1920). Gardner (1977) documented the karyotypical differences between these groups, but he did not draw any final conclusions as to their relationships. We believe that the new species is a member of the subgenus Molossops because it shares many characters with M. temminckii. The new species is named and described below. SYSTEMATICS Molossops (Molossops) neglectus, new species Holotype.-Adult female, skin and skull, no. 53864 Carnegie Museum of Natural History (CM); I km S, 2 km E Powaka, Suriname, Suriname (5 25'N, 55 03'W); obtained 10 August 1977 by Stephen L. Williams; original number 2703. Distribution.-Known only from the type locality. Diagnosis.-Size large for the subgenus (Fig. I; Table I); two lower incisors; M3 complex with a third commissure making the tooth broader labially than lingually; M 3 complex with the talonid composed of two cusps; ears pointed; color of the venter uniform. Measurements.- Extern al measurements of the holotype are as follows : total length, 89; length of tail, 29; length of hind foot, 7; length of ear from notch, 14; length of calcar, 12.3. Length of forearm and cranial measurements for M. negle ctus as compared with other species of Molossops are given in Table I. Description.-Hairs of the dor sum 3.0 to 3.5 mm long; base of hair pale yellowishwhite; remainder of hair shaft Mummy Brown (capitalized color term s from Ridgway, 1912). Hairs on the venter about 3.0 mm long; basal portion of the hair shaft yellowishwhite; overall coloration of the venter Buffy Brown, paler than dorsum. Membranes dark blackish-brown. Ear s pointed rather than rounded as in most molos sids ; more nearl y resembling a vespertilionid ear. Antitragus about 2.3 rnm, rounded, about as wide as high; tragus about 1.5 mm with a broadly rounded tip. Free portion of tail about one-third the length of entire tail. Dental formula 1/1, 1/1, 1/2, 3/3. Upper incisors relatively large, being over half the length of the canines, and filling space between them. Lower incisor s small, bifid (Fig. 2). First lower premolar considerably smaller than second. Third upper molar complex having a third commissure-a postcentrocrista extends from the meso style to a relatively well-developed metacone; postcentrocrista about two-thirds the length of the precentrocrista (dental nomenclature from Phillips, 1971). Third lower molar also complex; talonid composed of two cusps, a hypoconid and an entoconid with associated entocristid. Sagittal crest present, forming a helmet at occiput; profile of skull slopes up from nasal aperture to the posterior end of the helmet; space between nasal aperture and lacrimal ridge relatively broad (3.0 mm). Comparisons.-Molossops neglectus shares many characters with M, temminckii; however, the two are easily distinguished on the basis

In the 12 measurements examined, there was overlap only in postorbital breadth (Table 1; Vizotto and Taddei, 1976). The metacone of M3 may be better developed in M. neglectus than in temminckii; sagittal crest better developed in neglectus; helmet essentially lacking in temmenckii. M. neglectus is distinguished from abrasus, greenhalli, planirostris, and paranus, by having only two lower incisors rather than the usual four found in the other species (a few individuals have only two incisors); third upper and lower molars more complex with a third commissure on M3 and two cusps on the talonid of M3 as compared with M3 composed of only two commissures (lacking postcentrocrista and metacone) and the talonid of M 3 with only one cusp (hypoconid); ears pointed instead of rounded. In addition, M. neglectus is much smaller than M. abrasus in all

494 ANNALS OF CARNEGIE MUSEUM VOL. 49 measurements considered and lacks the distinct patches of fur along the forearm and metacarpels found in that species. In planirostris, the chin, neck, and a broad longitudinal band on the chest and abdomen are white or yellowish-white contrasting with the rust brown sides of the venter, whereas in neglectus the venter is uniformly Buffy Brown. M. neglectus is distinguished from greenhalli by having a helmet at the occiput (lacking in gre enhalli), a sloping cranial profile (nearly flat profile in greenhalli), and a relatively longer distance from the nasal aperture to the lacrimal ridge. The exact taxonomic status of M. aequatorianus is uncertain; it was placed in the subgenus Molossops by Cabrera (1958). However, it is easily distinguished from M. neglectus by its overall smaller size (Table 1). Etymology.-The name neglectus is a Latin word meaning " overlook." We have chosen this name becau se the specimen was overlooked in our collection for more than two year s before its significance was understood, and because this species has not been found previousl y in spite of extensive work on bats in Suriname and northern South America. DISCUSSION Species of the genus Molossops (Goodwin, 1958) appear to fall into two distinct groups based on dental, external, and karyological characteristics. The amount of morphological distinctness is sufficient to warrant recognition of these groups as subgenera (see also Cabrera, 1958; Goodwin and Greenhall, 1961).The subgenus Cynomops consists of the species abrasus (see Carter and Dolan, 1978, for use of this name), greenhalli (Goodwin, 1958), planirostris (including milleri, Koopman, 1978), and paranus (previously, and also recently by Koopman, 1978, considered to be a subspecies of planirostris, but recognized as a distinct species by Handley, 1976, although he gave no basis for this recognition). The subgenus Molossops consists of the species temminckii, neglectus, and possibly aequatorianus. The exact status of M. aequatorianus, is uncertain because many of the characters needed for subgeneric placement are not given in the original description (Cabrera, 1917). However, Cabrera (1958) placed this species in the subgenus Molossops. If this placement is correct, aequatorianus may represent a western sub species of temminckii based on relative size. Mol ossops neglectus, known only from the type locality, differs from aequatorianus and temminckii in being much larger. It is also geographically isolated from them. M. aequatorianus is known only from western Ecuador; M. temminckii is known from Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, and Colombia (Vieira, 1955; Cabrera, 1958; Pine et al., 1970; Vizotto and Taddei, 1976; Koopman, 1978; also see list of Specimens Examined). It is possible that future

Canonical anal ysis pro vides a mechanism for graphically representing phenetic relationships among samples with the characters weighted by variance-covariance analysis (Fig. 3). In Table 2, characters used in this analysis are listed from the most useful to the least useful in discriminating groups. Variates I and II in the analysis of species of Molossops accounted for 84.9% and 5.6% of the total dispersion, respectively. The character with a high canonical coefficient for Variate I (values greater than 1.5) was length of mandibular toothrow. Those with high negative values include, in decreasing order of value, zygomatic breadth, greatest length of skull, and postorbital con striction. In Variate II, positive values of more than 1.5 were exhibited by length of mandibular toothrow, breadth of braincase, and length of mandible; high negative values were shown for greatest length of skull and zygomatic breadth. In Fig. 3, the seven species of Molossops are arrayed along Variate

Each species forms a relatively distinct group. M. planirostris and para nus are the closest to each other of any of the taxa studied (the one specimen of paranus used was identified and reported by Handley, 1976). M. neglectus is well separated from the other members of the subgenus Molossops and is actually closer to planirostris and to a lesser extent greenhalli. This would be expected because these are the two species which are closest in size to neglectus. The position of the holotype of M. aequatorianus would tend to support the specific status of this species (it must be remembered, however, that this was the only specimen not measured by us). Our specimen was a female that weighed 10 g and evinced no reproductive activity when captured on 10 August 1977. The habitat of the collecting locality was the boundary between savannah and a small forested area. The savannah had scattered shrubbery; the forested area was mostly secondary growth. Other species of bats collected at that locality included Carollia perspicillata, Rhinophylla pumilio, Artibeus cinereus, two large species of Artibeus, Chiroderma trinitatum, C. villosum, Uroderma bilobatum, Vampyressa bidens, and Vampyrops helleri.
