 Descriptions of Two new Forms. By Knud Andersen. 



Rhinolophus hirsutus, sp. n. 



Diagnosis. — Allied to Rh. macrotis, but witli considerably 

 larger ears and longer tail. Forearm 44*7 mm. Hub. Cen- 

 tral Philippine Islands (Guimaras). 



Length of ears 24, greatest breadth of ears about 18 mm. ; 

 in two adult Rh. macrotis from Masuri the measurements 

 are 19-20-8 (length) and 15-5-16-5 mm. (breadth). Tail 

 equal to 1 ^ the length of the lower leg (24 as against 19 mm.) ; 

 in Rh. macrotis scarcely equal to the lower leg (17 as against 

 18-8 mm.). 



The skull is slightly larger than in Rh. macrotis, but quite 

 of the same shape, p^ half in row ; p'^ in row, with a 

 distinct, pointed cusp. 



Type. — $ ad. (in alcohol). Guimaras, Central Philippine 

 Islands. Collected by J. B. Steere, Esq. U.S. Nat. Mus. 

 no. 105487. 



Rhinolophus Pearsoni chinensis, subsp. n. 



Diagnosis. — Similar to Rh. Pearsoni from Darjeeling and 

 Masuri"^, but with markedly shorter tibia, slightly smaller 

 skull, narrower maxillar Avidth, shorter mandible and tooth- 

 rows. Forearm 52-7 mm. Hab. Fokieu (China). 



Length of lower leg 26 mm. (in the typical form 29) ; 

 maxillar width 9-2 (9-7-9-8); length of mandible 16-8 (17-7- 

 17-9); maxillar tooth-row 9-5 (9-8-10-2) ; mandibular 

 tooth-row, exclusive of incisors, lO'S (lO'8-ll-I). Dentition 

 as in the typical form : 2h external ; p^ and p^ almost in 

 contact ; p- in the tooth-row. 



Tijpe.— S ad. (skin). Kuatun, Fokien, April 16th, 1898. 

 Collected and presented by J. De La Touche, Esq. Brit. 

 Mus. no. 98. 11. 1. 2. 



* To judge from descriptions and figures of Dobson's Rh. yunanensis, 

 frcm Hotha, Yuuan (J. A. S. B. xli. pt. 2 (1872), p. 336; and Yunau 

 Exp. i. (1879) p. 95, pi. iv. fig. 1), and A. Milne-Edwards"s Rh. larvatus, 

 fron Moupiu, Szetcbuan (Maium. Tibet (1872), p. 248, pi. xx.wii. fig. 1, 

 pi. ::xxvii. c. tig. 1), the.se bats are iudidtinguisbable from the typical 

 Rh. Pearsoni. They are, at all events, different from the Chinese"' form 

 described above.
