RHOGEESSA TUMIDA H. Allen 



Rhogeessa tumida H. Allen, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, 1866, p. 286, 



Type locality. — Mirador, Veracruz, Mexico. 



Specimens collected. — Two. Colonia Agricola de Caracolicito, 1 

 male (in alcohol) ; Rio Guaimaral, 1 male. 



Measurements. — Head and body, 39; tail, 29; hind foot, 7; ear, 11; 

 forearm, 28.1 (of the male in alcohol, 28.3). 



Remarks. — The skull of the specimen prepared as a skin has been 

 lost. The type and a topotype of K. minutilla Miller, from Margarita 

 Island, Venezuela, are smaller and paler but appear to be only sub- 

 specifically distinct from tumida. Judged by the original description, 

 R. io Thomas, from Valencia, Venezuela, is questionably separable, 

 even as a subspecies, from typical tumida.

V[edpertilio] Molossus Pallas, Miscellanea zoologica, p. 49, 1767; Spicilegia

 Promops ajjinis Allen, Bull. Amer. IMus. Nat. Hist., vol. 13, p. 91, 1900 (type 



locality, "Taguaga" = Taganga). 

 Nyctinomus molossus, Miller, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 46, p. 86 and footnote 



4, 1913 (taxonomic history). 

 Tadarida macrotis, Shamel, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 78, p. 15, 1931 ("Taga- 



uga" = Taganga; Promops affinis Allen, a synonym ; revision) . — Sanborn, Ann. 



Carnegie Mus., vol. 21, p. 182, 1932 ("Taguaga" = Taganga). 



Type locality. — "America"; according to Miller {op. cit.), "not 

 improbably from Surinam." 



Remarks. — Miller's statement (evidently overlooked by Shamel, 

 op. cit.) that "the name Nyctinomus molossus (Pallas) should be 

 applied to the 'macrotis' of northern South America" is correct. As 

 Shamel combines the northern South American and Antillean bats 

 under the name macrotis, the prior name molossa is used here. Pre- 

 sumably the name T. molossa must apply also to Shamel's "macrotis"
