The species of the genus MIcRONYCTERIS are closely allied to Vam- 
pyrus, but contain among them some forms of small size. They 
differ from the genus just named, beside other characters, in not 
having the horseshoe-shaped membrane free in front, and the wings 
are not attached to the backs of the feet, but either to the sides or to 
the extremity of the tibiz.
