Cheiromeles
''Cheiromeles'' is a genus of bats in the family Molossidae, the free-tailed bats. 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.〔Leong, T. M., et al. (2009). (The naked bulldog bat, ''Cheiromeles torquatus'' in Singapore—past and present records, with highlights on its unique morphology (Microchiroptera: Molossidae). ) ''Nature in Singapore'' 2, 215-30.〕 These bats have mostly hairless bodies and fold their wings into pouches of skin along their bodies when at rest.〔Reichard, J. D., et al. (2010). (Thermal windows on Brazilian free-tailed bats facilitate thermoregulation during prolonged flight. ) ''Integrative and Comparative Biology'' 50(3) 358-70.〕 These are among the largest insectivorous bats, weighing up to 135 grams.〔Norberg, U. M. L. & Norberg, R. Å. (2012). (Scaling of wingbeat frequency with body mass in bats and limits to maximum bat size. ) ''The Journal of Experimental Biology'' 215(5), 711-22.〕
