specimen in spirit appears to be above, dark brown with lighter 
tips; beneath, brown with reddish tips. Upper incisors nearly 
equal in size ; first upper premolar minute, placed slightly inside 
the line of teeth, second premolar nearly equal to canine in size. 
This species unites the external form of a Vespertilio to the dentition 
of Pipistrellus ; the form of the ear and tragus is almost precisely 
similar to those of the next species which is a true Vespertilio.
