Family V. — Yespertilionid^. 



Blanford ranged all the species of Vespertilionid^ in eight 

 f^enera, but the iuorease in the namber of genera and species since 

 his work was done is so great that it would only cause confusion 

 to try and give equivalents for his genera, I propose therefore to ' 

 ignore them altogether and to maintain touch with him only 

 throuo-h his numbered species. The latest work on the classifica- 

 tion of the Chiroptera is Miller's " The Families and Genera of 

 Bats", 1907, which I have here followed as closely as possible so 

 far as it deals with our fauna. Miller recognises four subfamilies 

 of the Vespertilionid^, which may be arranged in a key as 

 follows : — 



Key to the subfamilies of the VespertilioniDjE. 



4. — Nostrils elongated, tiibular ... II. MuRiNiE. 



B. — Nostrils not elongated. 



a. — Ears funnel-shaped ... ... III. Kerivoulin^. 



h. — Ears not funnel-shaped. 



a\ — Second phalanx of third finger 

 nearly three times as long as 

 first ... ... ... ... IV. MlNIOPTERlN^. 



&\— Second phalanx of third finger 



not elouLfated ... ... I. VESPERTiLiONiNiB, 



Subfamily I. — Vespertilionin^. 

 In this subfamily Miller recognised 1 6 Genera (two of them by 

 different names to those used here), which may be arranged in a 

 key as follows : — 



Keij to the Genera oj the VESPERTiLiONiNiE. 



A. — Cheek teeth six, on each side, above 

 and below. 

 a. Feet large ... ... ... ... XVI. Leuconoe. 



h. Feet normal ... ... ... ... XV. Myotis. 



B. — Cheek teeth less than six on each side 

 above and below. 

 c. Upper premolars 2-2. 



a^ Lower premolars 3-3 ... ... II. Plecotus. 



h^ Lower premolars 2-2. 



0^. Outer, upper incisor not extend- 

 ing beyond cingulum of inner. XI. SCOTOZOUS. 

 If. Outer, upper incisor extending 

 distinctly beyond cingulum
