(behind prominences), 5: mastoid breadth, !).(>: breadth of braiucase 

 above roots of zygomata, 9; depth of rostrum between orbits, .']; mandi- 

 ble, 16.2; upper toothrow (exclusive of incisors), 8.8; lower toothrow

Remarks. — Glossophtit/a ehngata differs conspicuously from G. hnKji- 

 rrt.s-^rw in its paler color, particularly on the ventral surface^ The cra- 

 nial characters are ecpially distinct ive. In one specimen (Xo. 101,S.')r)V 

 the third upper molar is absent on Ixith sides. 



Leptonycteris cui'asose sp. no\'. 



7\y^>( adult male (in alcohol) Xo. Idl.S.")] rnited States Xatioiial Mu- 

 seum, collected at Cura(;ao, West Indies. 



Characters. — Closely related to the Mexican LefpUmyvteris niTalis (Saus- 

 sure) but color darker, and interfemoral membrane narrower and less: 

 hairy. Upper inrisors equalUj xpacctl and more projecl:in.y than in the 

 Mexican species. Second lower premolar sliji'htly but distinctly crescen- 

 tic. 



Earx. — The ears are broad and short, laid forward they extentl to an- 

 terior canthus of eye. Anterior border of conch nearly strai.yhl and al- 

 most horizontal throuuh proximal ."> mm., then \ery abruptly convex. 

 Beyond this convexity it is aiiain straig^ht for about .> mm. below rather 

 narrowly rounded tip. The two straight areas are nearly perpendicular 

 to each other. Posterior border slightly concave below tip, then mod- 

 erately con\ex to faintly marked notch at upper edge of antitragiis. 

 Antitragus small and ill defined, its substance distinctly thickened. The 

 slightly concave anterior border terminates abruptly a little in advance 

 of anterior base of ear, and 7 mm. behiiul angle of mouth. Outer sur- 

 face of ear smooth and naked except at extreme base, where it is cov- 

 ered with fur similar to that of head. Inner svu-face slightly papillose 

 and si^rinkled with inconspicuous hairs. Four or five very indistinct 

 cross ridges on inner surface of conch near middle of posterior border. 

 Tragus upright, much tliickened along anterior border. Anterior 

 border straight to slight subterminal coiu-avity. Point blunt. Posterior 

 border irregular, bat without distinct projecticms. Through anterior 

 base the width of tragus is ecpuil to one half anterior border. 



Muzzle anil rliin. — X^oseleaf diamond shaped, the lower portion bounded 

 by the oblicpie nostrils, the upper and slightly larger ])ortion erect and 

 free. Lips below and at sides of nostrils tumi<l, this swollen area ex- 

 tending back on each side iininedi;ilely behind noseleaf nearly lo median 

 line and separated posl(M'iorly from iKiscleal' by a dislinci. br >;ully \- 

 shaped groove. 



Chin divided by a d('(^p grooxo, uai'i'ow hclow, wide ah.i\(', lis edges ir- 

 regularly I ubcrculal c. 



Mfiiibraiu'K. — The membranes are thick nmgh and leathery: the wiims 

 and propatagium broad and ample; the uropatagium great ly reduced (only 

 ■1 mm. wide at middle). I'ropalagium extending as a l)road fold along 

 forearm lo iiirhidc mctacai-pal of lliiimU. The membranes are essen- 

 tialh' naked.
