The chromosome diploid number 2n = 48 and the number of chromosomal arms FN= 54 were recorded, similarly as in the previous published reports on karyology of molossid bats from Thailand, East Malaysia, and Africa. A synopsis of karyotypes of bats of the family Molossidae is presented with comments on their chromosomal evolution.}, keywords = {Asia, Chaerephon plicatus, Chaerephon pumilus, Chiroptera, chromosomes, cytogenetics, India, Molossidae, Mops condylurus, Senegal, West Africa}, author = {Sreepada, K.
