'MWer Three ^\V/r Bats from the Island of Curacao. 125 



palagium including; metacarpal of thumb. The membranes are practi 

 cally naked throughout. 



Ffct. The foot is long- and strong, about two thirds length of tibia. 

 Toes essentially equal in length and distinctly longer than metatarsals. 

 Claws large, nearly one half as long as rest of foot. Calcar distinct, 5 

 mm. in length, its ex reme tip projecting beyond membrane. 



Tail. The tail is very short, about equal to calcar, its tip forming a 

 minute projection on upper side of membrane.* 



Fui- and color. The fur is very soft, but rather loose in texture. 

 Length at middle of back about 5 mm. It is closely confined to body, 

 reaching membranes in a very narrow line only. On humerus it extends 

 about to middle both above and below. That of head covers basal third 

 of outer surface of ears. 



Color of dorsal surface hair brown irregularly lightened by appearance 

 at surface of the pale drab which occupies the basal two thirds of the 

 fur. This drab is paler than the ecru drab of Ridgway, but is distinctly 

 tinged with yellowish brown. Underparts pale Isabella color, fading to 

 ecru drab on flanks and washed with hair brown on chin, throat and 

 chest, the haiis everywhere pale drab at base. Ears, feet and mem 

 branes dark brown. 



tfkull. The skull of GlamopKaga rlonguta is narrower and moire elon 

 gate than that of G. hnigiroxtri* and the braincase is smaller and less 

 elevated above the faceline. The braincase rises above dorsal surface of 

 rostrum at an anrle of about 20 in G. dongata and G. aoricina, but of 

 scarcely 12 in G. longiroxtri*. Rostrum slightly longer than in G. longi- 

 /Wm, and distinctly shallower when viewed from the side, its dorsal 

 surface much more flattened, especially between orbits. Anterior nares 

 narrower and more elongate. Rudimentary vertical process of zygoma 

 as in G. Imyiroxtnx and smaller than in G. xm-n-iii<i. Bony palate behind 

 plain of last molar even narrower than in G. long&osfais. Base of brain- 

 case as in (1. tungiroxtrix, though the audital bullse are slightly smaller. 



7>W//. The teeth are as in GluxxopJutyn l<>n<jir<<tri, except that the 

 incisors, absent in the Colombian species, are well developed, and rela 

 tively larger than in G. xoricina. The uppef incisors project so nearly 

 hori/ontally thai when skull is viewed from directly above the entire 

 anterior face is visible. 



Mr<ixn>-< nifiilx. External measurements of type: total length, (55; tail 

 vertebra, 5: tibia. 15.8; foot, 11.4; calcar, 5.4; forearm, 40; thumb, 

 10: longest finger, 78; ear from meatus, 14. G; ear from crown, 9.6; 

 width of ear, 11: height of noseleaf above edge of lip, 5.4; height of 

 noseleaf behind, 3: greatest width of noseleaf, 4. 



Cranial measurements of type: greatest length, 24.4; basal length, 



22.2: basilar length, 20.4: xygomatic breadth, 9.8: interorbital breadth 



. 



-"In the original description of GhssopJwiga longiroxtri* the tail is stated, 

 on the authority of the collector (no trace of it can be seen in the dry 

 specimen) to be 18 mm. in length. This measurement without doubt 

 refers to width of uropatagium.
