140 MACROGLOSSUS, SYCONYCTERIS 



Rhinarium small, a deep groove between the not very 

 prominent nostrils, passing down to the border of the 

 upperlip, side grooves well developed down to the same 

 border, lowerlip divided by a groove into two cushions. 

 The lobule on the base of the outer margin of the ear is 

 solely represented by a minute vaulting — it would be over- 

 looked if not present in the other species of the genus. 

 Dentition practically not differing from that of the other 

 Macrofflossus-si^ecies and like in the other species of that 

 genus the wing-membrane is attached to the base of the 

 fourth toe. The anterior palate-ridge at somewhat greater 

 distance from the second than the latter from the follow- 

 ing, second to third of about the same semi-circular cur- 

 ving, equidistant, the sixth in the middle anteriorly more 

 triangular, the seventh sidewardly incomplete, anteriorly 

 obtusely triangular. This specimen agrees in about all cha- 

 racters with the specimens of the species Macroglossus 

 nanus Matschie, so that I think it need not a new name. 



Conclusions. Java has his own species. Macroglossus mini- 

 mies; Sumatra, Borneo and perhaps Celebes are the habitat 

 of Macroglossus lagochilus, meanwhile in Celebes, Aru- 

 islands, New Guinea, Murray-islands and New Britain we 

 find Macroglossus nanus. Syconycteris papuana is repre- 

 sented in Amboina, Aru-islands and New Guinea. For more 

 localities and other species see Matschie's »Fledermause 

 des Berliner Museums fur Naturkunde", 1899, 1. Lieferung.
