Diagnosis. — Similar to Pt. mimiis, but much paler. Forearm 

 1 1 4-5-1 18 mm. I-luh. Timor and Dyampea group. 



Palate-ridc/es. — 5 + 5 + 3 ; no trace of an additional ridge between 

 the normal ninth and tenth ridges. Arrangement as in Pt. hgj[>o- 

 melanus (antea, p. 101). 



Colour. — The darkest extreme approaches in general aspect the 

 palest-coloured individuals of Pt. mimus, hut tbe head, mantle, and 

 underparts are considerably lighter and the brownish colour of the 

 back more lightened with greyish. The palest extreme comes rather 

 near in colour to Pt. temmincl-i. 



Dark extreme: J J'g- ad. al., Bonerato, 97.1.3.17. — Back 

 Prout's brown rather thickly mixed with pale greyish, producing 

 the general effect of an indeiinite greyish brown. Sides of back, 

 along membranes, and forearms pale buffy tinged with wood-brown ; 

 rump and thighs similar, but tinged with pale cinnamon. — Breast, 

 belly, flanks, and anal region pale buffy, rather yellower (more 

 golden in tinge) on breast and flanks than on belly and anal
