Family Molossidae—Free-tailed Rats Tadarida brasiliensis Rrazilian Free-tailed Rat Tadarida brasiliensis is a highly colonial species, the breeding range of which lies gen- erally to the south of Colorado. Molossids are strong, fast fliers, and the occasional records of this species in Colorado probably represent wandering individuals from breeding colonies to the south or southeast in Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, or Arizona. Date of capture of five specimens at New Casde was 24 July 1907, whereas that of a male from Mesa Verde was 23 August 1936.
