HiPPOSIDEROS LYLEI, ThoS. 



Lyle's nose-leaf Bat, 

 1913. Hipposideros lylei, Thomas, A. M. X. H., Vol. XII, p. 88. 

 19 c?, 19$, 36 in al. Pyaunggaung, N. Shan States. 



A fairly large leaf-nosed bat, very similar to armiger in general colour, 

 the fur being composed of the same two shades of brown, but it is easily 

 distinguished from that bat by its smaller size and its larger and more 

 complicated nose-leaf which is especially large in the male ; it also has a 

 pale edge to the interfemoral membrane. Head and body about 3^ inches ; 

 weight about If ozs. 



When Mr, Thomas separated this bat from H. ijratti, he only had a male 

 specimen of lylei and a female jy^'c-iH on which to work, but now that this 

 large series of skins and spirit specimens have been obtained, the 

 differences in the other sexes are equally well borne out. The type locality 

 of H. lylei is N. Siam. 



" Large colonies found in caves around Pyaunggaung. sometimes in 

 company with H. larvatus^\ — G. C. S.
