CAROLLIA.—GLOSSOPHAGA. 43 
Carollia is very closely allied to the last genus, but has the under lip marked by a 
large rounded protuberance enclosed between two converging rows of small warts. 
The ears are moderately large ; the nose-leaf is not definitely separated in front from 
the upper lip ; and the tail and the calcanea are very short. The only species recognized 
by recent writers has the fur greyish-brown above, paler beneath, and a forearm of 
about 1-60. | 
Mr. Dobson regards Carollia as forming a connecting link between Professor 
Peters’s groups of Vampyri and Glossophaqe, resembling many members of the latter 
division in the narrowness of the molars and the imperfectness of the zygomatic arches.

Prince Maximilian described this Bat (though with some doubt as to its distinctness) 
from specimens taken in old buildings near the Rio do Espirito Santo. It has since 
been found in many other parts of the Neotropical Region, and has received other 
names, as shown by the above synonymy. Its range extends from Central Brazil to the 
warm and temperate provinces of Mexico, where it has been found by Sallé, Liebmann, 
De Saussure, and other collectors. 
9. GLOSSOPHAGA.

The next four allied genera belong to the group Glossophage of Professor Peters 
and Mr. Dobson, being distinguished by their very long pointed tongues, which are 
armed with long recurved bristle-like papille, and externally by their produced muzzles 
and deeply cleft under lips. They feed largely on fruits, lapping up the juice and soft 
pulp with their extensile tongues, but prey also on insects. The typical genus Glosso- 
phaga is further characterized by the presence of two upper and three lower pre- 
molars on each side, by the zygomatic arch being fully developed, and by the possession
