sentalive of tho ^^ Niadius" section of Cynoptcrus. Its resemblance 

 to "Niadius" in the skull, premolars, molars, and all external 

 characters is perfect, and its only claim to stand as a distinct genus 

 is the disappearance of i,, the shortening of i'% and the grooved 

 upper canines. 



Hislorj/ ill literature. — By its first descril)or (Peters, 1861) P<«>io- 

 rhirns v/as put down as a. suh'^enua oi Pack;/ soma {=Cynopteriis), 

 and later writers cither accepted Peters's view or considered it a 

 distinct genus. But its true characters and affinities have hitherto 

 been largely obscured and misunderstood by confusion with those 

 of the bat described by Dobson, in ISSO, as '■'C'l/nopti'rns {IHcno- 

 cMrus) Jiicasi." As pointed out above, Ftenocliirvs jac/orl is in 

 reality closely allied to Cynopteriis, whereas lacani represent:* 

 an entirely different genus {FiiUhetor, see p. Olio) related to 

 J'hoojdertis.
