142 Mr, O. Thomas on 
was said to have its under surface of a dirty white, with a 
tinge of yellow, so that it cannot have been the present 
form. 
9. Micronycteris megalotis, Gray. 
Five skins and two spirit-specimens. 600 and 2000 feet. 
November, 1900. 
Colmamece 
In connexion with this species it may be noted that 
specimen g of Dobson’s Catalogue (in spirit) is the type 
described by Gray in 1842, not specimen 7 as there stated. 
Specimen / is the type of Phyllostoma elongatum, Gray nec 
Geoffroy, and therefore of Ph. scrobiculatum, Wagn. 
10. Phyllostoma latefolium, sp. n. 
Six skins and two spirit-specimens. 1000 feet, November 6; 
600 feet, December 4. 
Allied to Ph. elongatum, but smaller, the nose-leaf shorter, 
broader, and with scarcely a trace of central rib. 
Size about as in Ph. discolor, therefore rather smaller than 
in Ph. elongatum. Fur soft and fine; hairs of back about 
8 mm. in length. General colour above dark smoky brown, 
greyer over the head and nape, darker on the back; under 
surface uniformly dark greyish, like the nape. No facial 
markings. Limbs and membranes almost entirely naked, a 
few hairs on the proximal part of the forearm and on the 
base of the interfemoral membrane. 
Nose-leaf very large, much larger than in Ph. discolor, 
though exceeded in length by that of Ph. elongatum. Horse- 
shoe simple, free in front. Lancet with its central rib 
almost imperceptible; its sides broadly and evenly rounded, 
not decidedly tapering towards the tip as is the case in 
Ph. elongatum. ars large, more broadly rounded than in 
Ph. elongatum; inner margin evenly convex, tip broadly 
rounded off, upper half of outer margin flattened, lower half 
convex. ‘Tragus as in the allied species. Wings to the 
ankles. Calcars long, reaching when laid upwards just to 
the knee. Penis long, longer than in the other species. 
Skull on the whole similar to that of Ph. elongatum, but 
markedly smaller; supraorbital edges apparently rather less 
developed; posterior palatal opening more narrowed and 
V-shaped, though not so much so as in PA, discolor; basi- 
occipital rather more deeply pitted. 
Teeth as in Ph. elongatum, the molars almost as broad, 
and therefore markedly broader than in PA. discolor. Outer 
upper incisors rather smaller in proportion.
