236 Elliot — Neio Mammals from Mexico and San Domingo. 



Remarks. — This is the largest member of the bridled weasel group yet 

 discovered. The nearest ally appears to be P.f. gohhnani, but the differ- 

 ence in the dimensions are so great that any comparison is useless. The 

 skulls of the two forms contrasted together exhibit in that of the present 

 species the following differences : Interorbital sj^ace narrower; braincase 

 longer ; bullae much wider, longer and flatter ; pterygoid fossa longer, the 

 arch pointed ; teeth much larger and palate longer and wider. Specimens 

 were obtained by Messrs. Heller and Barber. 



Phyllostoma verrucossum sp. nov. 



Type from Niltepec, Oaxaca, Mexico. Field Columbian Museum. Col- 

 lector's No. 3886. 



General characters. — Size small ; V-sbaped groove on lower lip margined 

 with eleven to thirteen warts ; ears as in the genus ; calcar shorter than 

 foot. Skull compared with that of /••. luiMdlniu is relatively broader inter- 

 orbitally and the rostrum narrower anteriorly, while the upper occipital 

 outline is continuous. 



Color. — Fore part of head above and f;ice from ears to end of nose dark 

 fawn becoming brownish around eyes ; band from behind ears and over the 

 center of the back dark russet ; back of head and nape very dark mummy 

 brown ; chin, throat and breast whitish buff; rest of underparts olive gray 

 with a pinkish tinge on the sides ; ears, membranes, feet and tail, blackish 

 brown. In some specimens the throat is ochraceous buff.

Remarks. — This new form of Plnjllostoma can not be confounded with 

 any other of this genus heretofore described. It is much smaller than 

 P. hastatum but larger than Mr. Thomas' s|)ecies from British Guiana. A 

 number of examples were obtained by Rlessrs. Heller and Barber.
