 blackish speckled with light spots. Not quite half the forearm is hairy. Tibia naked. 

 On the lower side the forearm is woolly in a similar degree as above but the wing-membrane 

 is sparsely beset with woolly hairs between humerus and forearm and along the outer 

 side of the latter. Tibia almost wholly naked below. Interfemoral membrane above 

 and below with some very few scattered hairs. Wing-membrane rising from back of se- 

 cond toe but at the end curving to the interspace between first and second.

 mesiall}' interrupted (in addition to these there is a rudiment of a fourth interrupted 

 fold on one side between the last and next last). Behind these there is an angular 

 serrated fold on the back of the palate.
