RHINOLOPHUS BLYTHI SZECHWANUS Anderson 



[Rhinolophus] [blythi] szechuHttins Anderson, Aim. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 9, 

 vol. 2, 1918, p. 377 (Chuuking, Szeohwaii, China). 



Specimens. — Seven in spirits from Suifu, Szechwan. 



I am not entirely convinced that this disposition of the above mate- 

 rial is correct, but no other course is practicable at present. They 

 clearly have no close affinity with the macrotis or Mjtfosideros groups. 

 From Fukien examples of R. l>. calidus they differ in longer forearm 

 (average 41.8 mm.), broader horseshoe, higher sella, and appreciably 

 larger foot and thumb. The skulls are virtually indistinguishable. 



KHINOLOPHUS ROUXI SINICUS Anderson 



Bhinoloj)hus 7ouxi sinicus Andeeson, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1905, p. 98 

 (Chintah, Anhwei, China). 



/Specimens. — Forty-one from the following localities in Fukien : 

 Yenpingfu, 40, including 25 in spirits; 1 from Foochow in spirits. 



On the whole the above specimens are nearest this race, although 

 there are some variations, as longer tail. The skull of the Foochow 

 example does not seem to be typical, but as it was removed from 

 the alcoholic and is in bad condition, little can be told from it. 



RmNOLOPHUS AFFINIS MACRURUS Anderson 



Rhinolophus affinis mucrurus Anderson, Troc. Zool. Soc. Lonilon. 1905, p. 103 

 (Tabo, Karennee, Burma, India). 



Speci77iens. — Six, including one in spirits, from Yenpingfu, Fukien. 



The phalangeal formula peaces these skins with the af/lnis rather 

 than the pearsoni group. It seems likely that the Chinese animals 

 will eventually prove to be distinct, but for the present, on the basis 

 of mea.surements given bj^ Anderson, the Fukien material must be 

 referred to this race rather than to himalayanus. 



Family HIPPOSIDERIDAE 



Genus HIPPOSIDEROS Gray 



HIPPOSIDEROS GENTILIS SINENSIS Anderson 



(Hipposideros) g{entilis) sinensis Anderson, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 9. 

 vol. 2, 1918, p. 380 (Foochow, Fukien, China). 



Specimens. — Fifteen, including five in spirits, from Yenpingfu, 

 Fukien. 



Anderson's terse characterization of this race is anything but satis- 

 factory, but sinetisis is the only sma]l member of this gemis to have 

 been described from China.
