Fur long, strictly limited to the body, except on the wing- 
membrane between the humerus and the flanks below; hairs 
of back about 8 millim.in length. General colour above very 
dark brown, something like “seal-brown”’ of Ridgway, but 
darker ; extreme bases of hairs whitish ; a prominent whitish 
dorsal streak running from the forehead to the root of the 
tail. Hairs on the bases of ears behind broadly and promi- 
nently white, so as to form a large showy white patch on each 
side of the crown. Sides of muzzle brown. Under surface 
and a line running up each side from the angle of the jaws 
to the hinder edge of the ears dirty yellowish white, the hairs 
dull slaty with yellowish tips. 
Outer upper incisors and small anterior premolars sub- 
equal, the latter standing fairly in the tooth-row, not crowded 
out of it by the approximation behind them of the canine and 
large premolar, as is the case in A. crenulata.

* This remarkable particoloured bat is evidently closely allied 
to the A. longifolium of Matto Grosso, but differs by the 
showy white ear-patches, the white (not “schmutzig grtin- 
lichgrau’’) dorsal streak, and the absence of any ‘‘rostgelb”’ 
colour on the throat and neck.
