Type locality. — Sicily. 



Geographical (ligtrihiition. — Mediterranean region, north to 

 Italian Switzerland, east into A.sia. 



Diagnosis. — Not so small as Myotis dauhentonii (forearm about 

 42 mm., longest linger about 68 mm., condylobasal length of 

 skull, 14"0 to 14*8 mm.), but similar in form and proportions; 

 wing membrane extending to ankle ; last caudal vertebra free ; 

 tibia and adjacent membrane densely furred. 



External cltaracters. — In all essential features the external 

 form is as in M. dauhentonii. The foot, however, is relatively 

 larger, and the wing membrane is inserted at the ankle. 



Fur and colour. — Fur rather dense and short, the hairs at 

 middle of back about 6 mm. in length ; distribution peculiar 

 among the European members of the genus in its tendency to 

 spread on membranes, forming a tlistinct patch on upper surface 

 of wing at elbow and extending over entire uropatagium to level 

 of feet, the furry covering of tibia and immediately adjacent 

 membrane (both above and below) especially dense. Colour
