Dtrtc/HO.sts.— Closely allied to Pt. giganteus, hut slightly larger, 

 and with breast and belly seal-brown or blackish like. back. Fore- 

 arm about 180 mm, FrtS. Tenasserim ;? Lower- Siam. 



Differential characters. — In skull and dentition this species is 

 scarcely distinguishable from Pt. giganteus ; in all external cha- 

 racters, except the colour of the breast and belly, it is similar to 

 that species, though apparently rather larger ; but it resembles Pt. 

 vampyrus in the blackish colour of the breast and belly. From the 

 geographically nearest race of Pf. vampyrus, viz* Pt. v. malaccensis, 

 it is readily distinguished by its mivch smaller size (forearm about 



180 mm., against 195-209) and by having the foreneck nearly as 

 bright-coloured as the mantle, in strong contrast to blackish breast- 



and belly. From the Siamese Pt. lylci (forearm 148-151 mm.) it 



differs by its much larger size, 



i(\(^.J_B,ather soft, but closely adprossed on back. Length of fur 



as in Pf. gigantiws leucocephalus, or somewhat shorter ; on back 15, 



mantle 18, belly 14 mm. 



Colour (type). — Back seal-brown, with a few greyish-white hairs 



intermised.— Breast and belly seal-brown with a slight tinge of 



chocolate on flank* arni -aai^ region. Mantle, yellowish buff; side&
