We captured this Molossidae in our nets at the Univeresity of Northeast, in Corrientes City.

At first we thought it was a Molossops temminckii, but on further investigation we identified it as Cynomops planirostris.

The main difference is the very white abdomen of this species compared to the darker abdomen of Molossops temminckii.
