Diagnosis. — Similar to Pt. ranikorensis, but rather larger and 

 ■with relatively longer wings. Forearm 139-150 mm. JJah. 

 Fiji, Tonga, and Samoa Is. 



Differential characters. — This species is scarcely distinguisliable 

 from Ft. vaniJiVroisis by other characters than those given in tho 

 diagnosis : forearm 139-150 mm., against 136-137 mm. in the 

 cotypts of l^t. vanilcorensis ; third metacarpal 93-5-102-5 ram., 

 against 8S"5 ; compare measurements p. 190. Size of orbits 

 ( t 2-5-13-2 mm.) as in Pt. vanil-orensis (13 mm.). 



Palaie-ridqcs. — 54-5-f-3, but not rarely with a more or less 

 incomplete additional ridge between the normal ninth and tenth 

 (formula approacliing 5-|-6-f3). Arrangement of ridges as in 

 Pt. liypomclanus (above p. 101). 



Fur. — Longest hairs of back approximately 10-13 mm., of mantle
