W slopes of Great Dividing Range in New South Wales , extending through most of Victoria and into S South Australia to Flinders and Gawler ranges, roughly following the 300-700 mm rainfall zone; also Kangaroo I.	Head—body 50-56 mm , tail 27-35 mm , ear 7- 5-12 mm , forearm 32-36 mm ; weight 6- 5-12 g . Dorsal fur is gray brown to light brown, and ventral fur usually a lighter pale brown. Males can be most readily distinguished from other Australian free-tailed bats by their exceptionally long penises, always exceeding 7- 5 mm and typically ¢. 9 mm or longer. The Southern Free-tailed Bat is almost identical in most aspects, except for penis length, to Ride’s Free-tailed Bat (O. rider) and can be very difficult to distinguish where their ranges overlap. It is smaller than Lumsden’s Free-tailed Bat ( O. lumsdenae ) and its fur is usually longer and darker than in the Inland Free-tailed Bat ( O. petersi ). Skull is flat. The species can be distinguished from other Ozimops by having a unique combination of allozyme alleles with number of fixed differences ranging from two to ten.	Associated with a wide range of habitats, including eucalypt forests and woodlands, mallee, and chenopod shrublands. Southern Free-tailed Bats have adapted to utilize farmland and urban areas, and large colonies have been found in buildings.	Southern Free-tailed Bats typically forage above the canopy or in open spaces, or forest gaps with little vegetation; they are regularly seen foraging for insects around streetlights in urban areas. Diet in farmland consists mainly of bugs ( Hemiptera ), with body sizes of 2-4 mm , and beetles ( Coleoptera ) with body sizes of 4-14 mm , as well as smaller quantities of flies, ants, and termites. In contrast to many other species, they consume relatively few moths.	Southern Free-tailed Bats are unusual as both males and females store sperm. Males store sperm generated throughout spring and summer in the epididymides, with mating from autumn throughout winter and into early spring (March-September). Females store sperm in the uterus or oviduct tract until ovulation in late winter to early spring (August-September). Single young are born in mid-summer (December—January). Females reach sexual maturity in the first year.	Southern Free-tailed Bats emerge after dark from their roosts in tree hollows and buildings.	Southern Free-tailed Bats roost in large groups of up to several hundred individuals. Roosts are sometimes shared with other species including the Inland Broad-nosed Bat ( Scotorepens balstoni ), the Chocolate Wattled Bat ( Chalinolobus morio ), and forest bats ( Vespadelus spp. ). They forage up to 12 km from the roost.	Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List (as Mormopterus planiceps ). The status of the Southern Free-tailed Bat is thought to be fairly stable, in view ofits extensive range and expected large population size. It is frequently recorded throughout its range, and appears to be relatively tolerant of disturbance and adapted to a broad range of habitats, including urban areas and agricultural land.

The species planiceps remains valid but has been redefined. Subgenera recognised in Reardon et al. (2014), including Ozimops , were subsequently elevated to genus level (Jackson and Groves 2015).	20000000	Ozimops planiceps	Least Concern		2021	2019-07-07 00:00:00 UTC	3.1	English	<p>Ozimops planiceps is assessed as Least Concern in view of its relatively large distribution, presumed large population size and occurrence in a range of habitats and in numerous protected areas. It is assumed that the large distribution and population size ensures the stability of the species, and if there is, or has been a recent population decline, that the magnitude or rate of this decline is not sufficient to meet IUCN criteria for a threat category. However, it is important to note that due to a lack of broad-scale, long-term population monitoring, there are no hard data to support or reject this assumption.</p>	Locations range through native bushland, agricultural and urban areas. Found in semiarid chenopod shrublands and open woodland, to higher rainfall woodlands. ;Roosts in tree hollows but commonly reported roosting in buildings. Forages in open spaces above the canopy or between trees. Diet in Victoria mainly consisted of Hemiptera (Lumsden et al . 2008)	This species is dependent on trees for both roosting and foraging, and so it is susceptible to habitat loss and degradation due to ongoing decline in mature trees, especially in rural and urban environments.	The population is expected to greatly exceed 10,000 mature individuals, and while habitat clearance and wildfire may have had an impact of population sizes in some areas within its distribution, it remains one of the commonest species in many parts of the range. The population trend is unknown but suspected to be declining.	Decreasing	The geographic range of this species follows the 250–900 mm annual rainfall band in south-eastern Australia, from the Gawler Ranges in South Australia, through southeastern South Australia, the western half of Victoria and the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range into central woodlands of New South Wales to the Queensland border (Lumsden et al . 2008, Pennay et al . 2011, Reardon et al . 2014).	The species is not known to be hunted or have any local use.	Terrestrial	There are no specific conservation programs for the species. It is known ;to occur in many National Parks and conservation reserves. Protection and management of the species habitat is needed as are community awareness programs and control of feral cats. Additional research on the species population size and trends, ecology, threats, habitat and conservation actions would benefit the species.	Australasian		FALSE	FALSE	Global	Simmons, N.
