TAPnOZOÜS KAMPENIT. 65 



NOTE V. 

 ON A NEW TAPHOZOUS FROM JAVA 



Dr. P. A. JENTINK. 



March 1907. 



Dr. P. N. van Kampeu offered some bats to our Mu- 

 seum, all from the neighborhood of Batavia, Java. Among 

 them is a Taphozous, an adult male, with a radiometacarpal 

 pouch and a gular sac. Among the very few Taphozous-s^e- 

 cies known from the East Indian Region, there only is a 

 single one, presenting these two characteristics combined, 

 viz. Taphozous longimanus Hardwicke, from the Indian 

 Continent. Dobson (Catalogue, p. 385) described a variety 

 from Flores under the name of Taphozous longimanus 

 leucopleurus (by an error in Trouessart's splendid ,, Catalo- 

 gus Mammalium" mentioned as leucopteurus and leiccop- 

 terus). I registered in the Notes from the Leyden Museum, 



1897, p. 54, two specimens, collected by Mr. Goedhuis at 

 Sintang, Borneo, a female and a young male, under the 

 specific title of Taphozous longimanus Hardw., the first 

 known specimens of the Taphozous longimanus-gYOU\) from 

 Borneo, meanwhile Oldfield Thomas (Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. 



1898, II, p. 246) described another specimen, an adult 

 female, collected by Mr. Everett in 1892 at Labuan, Borneo, 

 as a subspecies, Taphozous longimanus alhipimiis. Up to the 

 present no specimens of the longimanus-gvou^ have been 

 recorded from Java; therefore it prima facie seems very pro- 

 bable that our Batavia-specimen may turn out to be another 

 form of the rare and highly interesting longimanus-gxou^.
