364 Mr. O. Thomas on 
skull and long soft fur. Colour, so far as can be judged on 
a spirit-specimen, much as in that species. Sides of muzzle 
much swollen, tumid, the edges of the nostrils not projecting. 
Ears rather large, their outer margin with a rounded basal 
lobule. ‘Tragus large, straight, not bowed inwards, with low 
basal lobule. Wings to base of fifth toe. Last vertebra of 
tail exserted. 
Skull larger than that of montosus and rather more normal 
in general shape, less rounded and swollen. Brain-case with 
well-defined sagittal ridge. Intertemporal breadth equally 
exceeding that of the ordinary species of the genus. ‘Teeth 
rather larger throughout. ) 
Dimensions of the type (measured on the spirit-speci- 
men) :— 
Forearm 46 mm. 
Head and body 55; tail 44; ear 16; tragus on inner 
edge 6; third finger, metacarpus 39, first phalanx 16. 
Skull: greatest length 16°2; condylo-basal length 15:9 ; 
basi-sinual length 13; zygomatic breadth 10°8; inter- 
temporal breadth 4°5; breadth of brain-case 8 ; palato-sinual 
length 6°8; front of canine to back of m* 6:3; front of p* to 
back of m? 4:2. e 
Hab. Chanchamayo, Cuzco, Peru. 
Type. Adult male in alcohol. B.M. no. 94. 8.6.1. Col- 
lected by J. Kalinowski. One specimen. 
Along the coastal regions of Keuador and N. Peru the 
members of this genus are brownish, approximating to Prout’s 
brown, cinnamon-brown, &c.—in marked contrast to the more 
or less blackish H. andinus of Colombia and the higher 
grounds of the Andes, Specimens from Piura, Peru, are 
topotypical of innowius, Gerv., while quite similar forms are 
in the collection from Eten, Peru, to the south, and Santa 
Rosa, Ecuador, further north, the Museum containing thirteen 
specimens in all. In these the forearm is about 37-38 mm. 
in length, and the skull 14°9 to 15-5 mm. £. espade, Cabrera, 
from Babahoyo, with forearm 38 and skull 15°4 mm. in 
length, must no doubt be considered the same form, as it is 
expressly stated to be very pale in colour. 
But among our specimens are two from the island of Puna 
so much smaller than the others as to demand distinction :— 
Jiptesicus punicus, sp. n. 
Colour as in £. innowius, but size, and especially skull, 
markedly smaller.
