Taxonomy. The distinction between
M. rufus
and
M. pretiosus
from other Brazilian congeners is discussed above.
Molossus rufus
is larger than
M. pretiosus
(forearm ranging from
46.7 to 55.2 mm
in
M. rufus
and from 44.6 to 49.0 mm in
M. pretiosus
); the shape of the upper incisors (long and slightly convergent in
M. pretiosus
, short, spatulated and in contact in
M. rufus
); general fur coloration (dark brown in
M. pretiosus
and dark or reddish brown in
M. rufus
) and face and membranes coloration (not black, slightly paler, in
M. pretiosus
and black in
M. rufus
) (

,
Nogueira et al. 2008

, Díaz et al. 2016).
Molossus rufus
specimens from PECB (ZSP 019, 026, 059; see
Table 8
for measurements) have general reddish dark brown coloration, with unicolored dorsal fur, which average
5 mm
at the shoulders. The upper incisors are spatulated and in contact.
Distribution. In
Brazil
, the species is recorded in all biomes, except Pampas, on the states of
Alagoas
, Amazonas,
Amapá
,
Bahia
,

Rio Grande do Sul
,
Santa Catarina
, and
São Paulo
(
Tavares et al. 2008
,
Reis et al. 2017
). In
São Paulo
, the species is widely distributed (
Garbino 2016
).
Field observations. We captured
3 adult
males in roosting sites on building roofs in sampling sites S7 and S17 (Appendix 1). In S7 we also captured
11
M.
molossus and one
Cynomops abrasus
; on S17 we also captured one
Glossophaga soricina
. Captures occurred in January, September and December.
