Cheiromeles is a genus of bats in the family Molossidae, the free-tailed bats.[1] The genus was erected and described by Thomas Horsfield, who developed the name from the Greek word cheir ("hand"), a reference to the hand-like hindfoot, which has a toe that flexes like an opposable thumb.[2] These bats have mostly hairless bodies and fold their wings into pouches of skin along their bodies when at rest.[3] These are among the largest insectivorous bats, weighing up to 135 grams.[4]
There are two species in this genus:[2]
