At a glance this species is distinguished from all the 

 other species of the genus Nyctinomus by the length of 

 the metacarpal bone of the third and the fourth finger , by 

 the peculiar manner in which the interfemoral membrane 

 and the wings are attached to the tibiae , and by the very 

 long end of the tail free from the membrane. 



Muzzle as in the other species ; upper lip very expan- 

 sible and thick , deeply grooved by vertical wrinkles. 



Ears united by a low band in front, but connected by 

 the bases of their inner margin , which form a sharp angle. 

 Earconch triangular , rounded towards the tip , the inner 

 and outer margins being oval. Tragus also triangular , very 

 small. Antitragus well developed , broad , obtusely rounded 

 towards the top , with a large base , separated from the 

 earconch by a very deep notch. 



The female possesses no gular sac.
