Bristle-faced free-tailed bat
The bristle-faced free-tailed bat (''Mormopterus eleryi''), previously known as the hairy-rostrum or hairy-nosed freetail bat, is a small insectivorous bat that is the only member of the molossid sub-genus ''Setirostris''.〔(), Reardon, T.B, McKenzie, N.L., Cooper, S.

A molecular and morphological investigation of species boundaries and phylogenetic relationships in Australian free-tailed bats Mormopterus (Chiroptera: Molossidae). Australian Journal of Zoology 62: 109–136.〕 The bristle-faced free-tailed bat differs from all other bats in the Family Molossidae by possessing unique dentition, a distinctive echolocation call, diagnostic genital and glans penis morphology and small body size.〔(), Reardon, T.B., Adams.

Zootaxa 1875: 1–31.〕 It is readily distinguished from other ''Mormopterus'' species by the presence of characteristic stout bristles on the muzzle and face.〔Van Dyck, S., Gynther, I. and Baker, A.

A 1998 genetic study of species boundaries in Australian free-tailed bats (Family Mollossidae) indicated that the bristle-faced free-tailed bat (referred to as ''Mormopterus'' sp 6) was one of a group of eight distinct and unresolved genetic groups in the Australian ''Mormopterus''.〔Adams. M., Reardon, T.B., Baverstock, P.R. and Watts, C.H.S. (1988). Electrophoretic resolution of species boundaries in Australian microchiroptera. IV. Molossidae (Chiroptera). ''Australian Journal of Biological Science'' 41: 315–26.〕 ''Mormopterus'' sp 6 was genetically distinct from all other types, however only a single specimen from central Australia was included in the study.〔Adams. M., Reardon, T.B., Baverstock, P.R. and Watts, C.H.S. (1988). Electrophoretic resolution of species boundaries in Australian microchiroptera. IV. Molossidae (Chiroptera). ''Australian Journal of Biological Science'' 41: 315–26.〕 Accumulation of additional specimens (n=24) in Museum collections and targeted trapping facilitated formal description of the bristle-faced free-tailed bat in 2008 on the basis of morphology, the results of allozyme electrophoresis and investigation of echolocation call characteristics.〔(), Reardon, T.B., Adams. M., McKenzie, N.L. and Jenkins, P. (2008). A new species of Australian freetail bat''Mormopterus eleryi'' sp. nov. (Chiroptera: Molossidae) and a taxonomic reappraisal of ''M. norfolkensis'' (Gray). ''Zootaxa'' 1875: 1–31.〕 Further resolution of the Australian Molossidae has shown that the bristle-faced free-tailed bat and the east-coast free-tailed bat (''Mormopterus norfolkensis'') are only distantly related to other Australian Mollosid taxa, and the differences between these two species and remaining taxa in the ''Mormopterus 'planiceps group lead to the erection of three new subgenera in 2014.〔(), Reardon, T.B., McKenzie, N.L., Cooper, S.J.B., Appleton, B., Carthew, S. and Adams, M. (2014). A molecular and morphological investigation of species boundaries and phylogenetic relationships in Australian free-tailed bats ''Mormopterus'' (Chiroptera : Molossidae). ''Australian Journal of Zoology'' 62: 109–136.〕 These subgenera include ''Setirostris'' (Reardon, McKenzie & Adams 2014) for ''Mormopterus eleryi'', ''Micronomus'' (Reardon, McKenzie & Adams 2014) for ''Mormopterus norfolkensis'' and ''Ozimops'' (Reardon, McKenzie & Adams 2014) for the remaining seven Australian taxa and several Indo-Papuan forms formerly in the ''planiceps'' group.〔(), Reardon, T.B., McKenzie, N.L., Cooper, S.J.B., Appleton, B., Carthew, S. and Adams, M. (2014). A molecular and morphological investigation of species boundaries and phylogenetic relationships in Australian free-tailed bats ''Mormopterus'' (Chiroptera : Molossidae). ''Australian Journal of Zoology'' 62: 109–136.〕 The subgeneric name ''Setirostris'' (seta + rostrum) refers to the characteristic bristles on the face of the bristle-faced free-tailed bat 〔(), Reardon, T.B., McKenzie, N.L., Cooper, S.J.B., Appleton, B., Carthew, S. and Adams, M. (2014). A molecular and morphological investigation of species boundaries and phylogenetic relationships in Australian free-tailed bats ''Mormopterus'' (Chiroptera : Molossidae). ''Australian Journal of Zoology'' 62: 109–136.〕 and the specific name ''eleryi'' is for Elery Hamilton-Smith in recognition of contributions to bat research and conservation.〔(), Reardon, T.B., Adams.
