Myotis Bechsteini favonicus, subsp. n. 



A smaller-eared Spanish representative of M. Bechsteini. 



Size decidedly less than in true Bechsteini. General 

 colour darker, the tips of the hairs, both above and below, 

 less conspicuously lighter than the dark bases. Ears con- 

 siderably shorter than in true Bechsteini ', laid forward they 

 only surpass the muzzle by about 5 mm., as compared with 

 9 or 10 ; their shape apparently quite similar. Tragus rather 

 less attenuated above, and with practically no tendency to an 

 outward curvature. Wings to the base of the toes. Calcar 

 extending hallway towards the tip of the tail, its end marked 

 by a projecting lobule. Terminal vertebra of tail projecting 

 from membrane. Edge of membrane finely serrated, not 

 fringed. 



Skull quite like that of true Bechsteini, except that it is 

 slightly smaller, and the bulla?, in correlation with the smaller 

 external ears, are less swollen. 



Dimensions of the type (measured on the spirit-specimen) : — 



Forearm 41 mm. 



Head and body 55 ; tail o8 ; head 20 ; ear, from notch 22'5, 

 from lobe at base of internal edge 19'8, breadth when flat- 

 tened 13'5 ; tragus on inner edge 9 ; tiiird finger, meta- 

 carpus 35, first phalanx 13, second phalanx 11 ; lower leg 

 and hind foot (c. u.) 30; calcar 18. 



Skull: greatest length 17"7. 



Hah. La Granja, on the northern side of the Sierra de 

 Guadarrama, Central Spain. 



Type. Old male in alcohol. Collected by Sr. M. de la 

 Escalera. 



Tliis bat, while conspicuously different from true M. Bech- 

 steini by its much smaller ears, is so evidently the Spanish 

 representative of that species, that I prefer to give it a 

 trinomial rather than a binomial designation. 



Hungarian examples of Myotis Bechsteini have been 

 kindly ceded to the British Museum for the purpose of this 

 comparison by Prof. L. von Mehely, our National Museum 

 possessing hardly any good examples of this rare bat. 



Glis gUs spoliatus, subsp. n. 



A small form of G. glis. 



General colour quite as in Central European examples of
