- Mops (Mops) trevori J.A. Allen, 1917 Fig. 29 C–D Mops trevori J.A. Allen, 1917: 469. * Tadarida (Mops) congica J.A. Allen, 1917. Hayman et al. (1966: 65) considered trevori to be a synonym (or – following Koopman 1965: 26 – at most as subspecies) of Tadarida (Mops) congica. However, based on size and subtle differences in the ear and facial features, Peterson (1972: 10) separated the smaller trevori from the larger congicus. This view was followed by Freeman (1981: 159, 160) and Simmons (2005: 444). Besides the type specimen, Hayman et al. (1966: 65) mention one extra locality: Iso.4 (RBINS 13826). As indicated above, however, this specimen was re-identified as T. aloysiisabaudiae by Peterson (1972: 2), leaving the type specimen of M. trevori as the only representative of this species in the DRC. Happold(2013z:538) marked the northeastern corner of the DRC and central Uganda as the core distribution area for trevori, with some further individual localities in Guinea, eastern Côte d’Ivoire, western Ghana, and western Nigeria. A record from the Central African Republic needs further investigation as it might represent either congica or trevori (Fahr 2013m; Happold 2013z). Concerning the habitat preferences of the two species, Peterson (1972: 17) stated that trevori is a forest edge or open forest dweller.
