AET. 1 MAMMALS FROM CHINA HOWELL 15 



Genus COELOPS Blyth 



COELOPS INFLATA Miller 



Coelops inflata Miller, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., vol. 41. 1928, p. 85 (near Yeu- 

 pingfu, Fukien, China). 



/Specimen. — One, the type. 



Family VESPERTILIONIDAE 

 Genus MYOTIS Kaup 



MYOTIS CHINENSIS LUCTUOSUS G. M, Allen 



Myotis cliinensi-'i luctnosus G. M. Alien, Amer. IMus. Nov., No. 85, 1923, p. 5 

 (Wanhsien, Szechwan, China). 



Specimens. — Seven: Yenpingfu, Fukien, 1; Hwangtsaopa, Kei- 

 chow, 1; and Changshowkai, Hunan, 5. 



These all confoiin to the characters mentioned in the original 

 description. 



MYOTIS DAVIDII (Peters) 



Vespertilio davidii Petteks, Monatsb, Akad. Wissensch. Berlin, 1869, p. 402 

 (Peking, Chihli, China). 



Specimen. — One from Hsinlingshan, Chihli, 



This bat is very like M. dauhentonii but is a trifle darker and the 

 second premolar, both above and below, is internal and excessively 

 crowded. 



MYOTIS FORMOSUS (Hodgson) 



Vespertilio formosus Hodgson, Journ. Asiatic Soc. Bengal, vol. 4, 1835, p. 700 

 (Formosa). 



The mainland bat of this rufous and black type has been described 

 under the name nifo-nlger Tomes, but I believe that the validity of 

 the latter has not been satisfactorily established. The National Mu- 

 seum has two alcoholics from Formosa and in comparison with these 

 the characters of the ear, which Tomes ascribed to the Chinese ani- 

 mal, are not discernable. 



MYOTIS HIRSUTUS A. B. Howell 



Myotis hirsuftis A. IJ. Howhll, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., vol. 39, 1926, p. 139 

 (near Yeiipiugfu, Fukien, China.) 



Specimens. — Thirteen, including the type, from Yenpingfu. 



This seems to be the Chinese representative of the European 

 Myotis capaccimi and the relationship may ultimately in-ove to be 

 only subspecific. Average measurements of 12 specimens are as fol- 

 lows: Length of head and body, 48; tail, 39; ear, 15; forearm, 39; 

 thumb, 6.8; shank. 15.1; foot, 10.4; total length of skull, 15.1;
