AMERICAN BATS OF THE GENERA MYOTIS AND PIZONYX 93 



Type locality. — San Antonio, Bexar County, Tex. 



Type specimen. — Adult male, skin and skull, No. -H-H-f Amer. Mus. 

 Nat. Hist., collected at San Antonio, Tex., October 10, 1896, by H. P. 

 Attwater. 



Distribution. — Open arid country from Texas and New Mexico 

 northeastward to Kansas; south in Mexico as far as Durango. (See 

 map 4, p. 87.) 



Diagnosis. — Size maximum for the species and for the American 

 members of the genus (pi. 1, p. 7, fig. 4) ; greatest length of skull 

 15.8 to 17.6 mm.; color pallid. 



Description. — Compared with that of true Myotis velifer the fur 

 of M. V. incautits is usually of a much paler tint in mature animals. 

 A paratype is nearly "tawny olive," with the bases of the hairs not 

 quite so dark as in M. velifer velifer; below, the pale tips of the hairs 

 are a trifle clearer, essentially the cartridge buff of Ridgway (1912).
