UOUSEXTUS CEI.IOUKNSIS. 47 



])alate unusually narrow jjosteriorly : width extornally across 

 m--m'"' !)•? mm. (two adults), against 10-2-1 1-8 in aniple.vicKvdntus 

 (ten adults) ; frontal region between postorbital processes flat ; 

 temporal fossa narrow ; temjjoral ridges forming a lov/ Sigittal 

 crest in fully mature individuals. 



Teelh. — Upper canine and p'' widely separated ; p' in the centre 

 of the inters|)ace between these two teeth, not deciduous ; last 

 premolar and molars above and Vielow very nanow : m^ at least 

 twice as long as broad ; m^ small, less than half the size of m' ; p^ 

 three or four times the size of a lower incisor; m.^ about half the 

 length (or less) of m^ ; m, subcircular in outline. 



Pdlatc-riihjes. — 4 + '^+ 1 ; arrangement as in li. cunple.vlcaudafus. 



Ears, u'bu/s, tail. — Ears essentially as in li. (implea-icdudaUis: 

 narrow, not attenuated below the tip, "the tip itself broadly rounded 

 oft' ; antitragal lobe small, rounded. General size of the animal as 

 ill li. bracJiifotis (smaller than E. ampIe.ricaudtUus), but digits pro- 

 portionally longer than in any other eastern species of the genus 

 (index of poUex 392, of third digit 1(546, against 33-5-41 and 

 1529-41 respectively in all other eastern species); for details see 

 wing-indices, above p. 20. Tail long, probably about 20 mm. 

 (only dried skins examined). 



/'MJ-.— Longer, richer, and more velvet than in 11. ctiuidexicaudatus 

 and allied eastern species ; notopatagium clothed with dense fur : 

 hairing on forearni.s, tibia^, interfemural, and underside of lateral 

 membrane longer and richer ; face more densely haired. 



Colour. — Brighter than in B. ampJexicandatus. Back light 

 Trout's brown, rump more inclining to mars-brown tinged with 

 russet ; sides of back and tibial next to membranes almost vandyck- 

 hrown ; crown and occiput dark brown, approaching bistre ; nape 

 of neck broccoli-brown ; a glandular tuft of mummy-brown hairs on 

 each side of the neck in both sexes ; entire underside of body dark 

 greyish drab. — Immature individuals are similar in colour to adults, 

 but without the mummy-l)rowu neck-tuft. 



Measurements. See table, p. 48.

liemarlcs. — Without close inspection this species, owing to its 

 small size, may be easily (and has in fact repeatedly been) confused 

 with It. brac]ii/otis. The larger skull, very narrow palate, narrow 

 molars, non-deciduous p\ much longer poUex (28-30 mm., against 

 24-26 in hracJi;/otu-), longer wings (chiefly owing to the longer meta- 

 carpals), much louger fur, hairy notopatagium, and much more 

 densely haired tibia readily distinguish it from B. brachi/ctls,
