KSclireber's time in the Seba Museum, may have been the 

 actual example from which the plate was drawn. 



But in any case the name lasiopferus is not applicable to 

 tlie Japanese species, which will need a new one, and may 

 be called Nyctalus aviator. 



A t^'pe specimen may be selected, of which the essential 

 dimensions are as follows : — 



Forearm 62 mm.

 greatest postorbital breadth 9*6; intertem])oral constriction 5*7; 

 posterior breadth 14"2 ; palato-sinual length 7'1 ; front of 

 canine to back of nt' 8'5.

Hypoctonus hirmanicus, sp. n. 



(J . Structure of both the upper and lower surface of the 

 T)oay almost exactly as in H. bing/iami, Gates. 



Cliela more slender and smoother than is the case in 

 B. hwghami ; its femur and tibia smooth and shining above 

 and practically smooth below also, only a few weak and 

 scattered granules being present on the lower surface (and 

 more numerous granules on the inner surface) of these 

 segments. Dorsal surface of hand smooth, shining, and 

 without any granule?, but a number of punctures are present 

 on it; the inner edge is granular. [In 11. bingliami the 

 lower surface of the femur and tibia is coarsely granular, and 

 a number of distinct granules are present (to tlieinner side of) 

 the dorsal surface of these segments and on the hand.] 

 Tibial apophysis longer than that of the nvA^oi H.binghamij 

 but very similar in shape ; its length exceeds the greatest 

 width, but is much less than the length of the tibia. A
