Rhinolophus anderseni aequalis, new snbsp. 



Type. — An alcoholic male. No. 53 112, Mus. of Zool., Uni- 

 versity of Michigan, from Puerto Prusse, Palawan, Philippine 

 Islands. Collected by J. B. Steere. 



Diagnosis. — Similar to R. aiidcrscni, but with a slightly 

 larger skull and the metacarpals slightly longer, nearly of 

 equal length instead of slightly graduated. 



Description. — No color comparison is possible. This is one 

 of the simplex group as defined by Andersen, with the con- 

 necting-process of the nose-leaf slightly convex in side view, 

 though rather higher than in the typical form of this group, 

 with its anterior margin nearly vertical. In general it corre- 

 sponds fairly well with the description of the type of anderseni, 

 but the metacarpals are practically of equal length instead of 

 being slightly graduated, and the dimensions of these bones 

 and their phalanges, as well as the cranial measurements, are 

 slightly larger. 



Measurements. — The dimensions of the type are as follows, 

 with those of the type of R. anderseni in parentheses: forearm, 

 45 (45) ; tail, 21.5; metacarpal III, 34 (30.5) ; IIP, 13 (12) ; 

 IIP, 17 (21) ; metacarpal IV, 34.5 (32) ; W\ 9 (8) ; IV-, 11 

 (13) ; metacarpal V, 34.5 (32.8) ; V\ 10 (9.5) ; V^ 10.5 (12) ; 

 width of nose-leaf, 8 (10) ; tibia, 20.5 (20) ; foot (c. u.), 9 

 (10). 



Skull: Occiput to front of canine, 21 (20) ; mastoid width, 

 10 (9) ; zygomatic width, 10.5 (9.2) ; upper cheek teeth, 8.2 

 (8) ; lower tooth row, 10 (8.5) ; width outside base of upper 

 canines, 6. 



Remarks. — The type of R. anderseni was believed to have 

 come from Luzon. The Palawan specimen here described,
