MAMMALS OF NORTHERN COLOMBIA — HERSHKOVITZ 451 



Madrid, ser. zool., No. 31, p. 15, 1917). In tricolor (albiventer) , under- 

 parts to lower lip are usually sharply contrasted Avhite, sometimes 

 with yellowish tinge on parts of belly and chest, and either yellow or 

 brown on chin and throat; ears small, blacldsh; calcar with two carti- 

 laginous projections extending into posterolateral border of uro- 

 patagium. In discijera, the onl}^ other known valid species of the 

 genus, underparts arc brown, slightly paler than upperparts; ears 

 yellowish, larger than in tricolor; calcar with one cartilaginous pro- 

 jection extending into posterolateral border of uropatagium; brain 

 case lower, less globate, teeth smaller than in tricolor. Depth of 

 brain case from auditory meatus in the type specimen of T. discijera 

 major Miller is 6.5 mm. This form has been recorded by Sanborn 

 (Ann. Carnegie Mus., vol. 21, p. 180, 1932) from Rio Negro, Boyaca, in 

 the interior of Colombia. A skull only, "probably from Bonda," is 

 referred to T. discijera major by the same author {loc. cit.).

Type locality.— Fa-zendu de Aga, near Rio Iritiba, Espirito Santo, 

 Brazil (see Wied-Neuwied, Beitrage Naturg. Brasil., vol. 2, p. 268, 

 1826).

 alcohol), 5 females (in alcohol) ; La Gloria, Rio Magdalena, 5 males (in

EPTESICUS BRASILIENSIS ANDINUS Allen 



Eptesicus andimis Allen, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., vol. 33, p. 382, 1914. 



Type locality. — Valle de Las Papas, Huila, Colombia; altitude, 

 10,000 feet. 



Specimens collected.- — One. Sierra Negra, Sierra de Perijd, 1 female. 



Remarks. — The individual agrees specifically with a representative 

 of true brasiliensis from Rio de Janeiro. Its forearm, 43.6 mm. in 

 the dry skin, is slightly larger than that of the type of andinus Allen 

 and slightly smaller than that of the type of chiriquinus Thomas. It is 

 doubtful whether the latter can be separated even subspecifically from 

 andinus. The more northern propinquus Peters is a smaller race of 

 brasiliensis.
