Comment:
Comments: Equivalent to Molossidae sensu Freeman (1981), Legendre (1984), Koopman (1993, 1994), and Peterson et al. (1995). Some recent authors (e.g., Pavlinov et al., 1995b) have followed Legendre (1984) in subdividing this group into three subfamilies, but confusion concerning intergeneric relationships leads me to reject any such arrangement pending a thorough phylogenetic analysis. A key to Brazilian species was provided by Gregorin and Taddei (2002)
