CoRYNORHINUS PHYLLOTIS, sp. nov. 
Leaf-eared Bat. 
Plecotus auritus J. A. Allen, Bull. M. C. Z., 1881, 8, p. 184 (not of Linné, 1758). 
Type.— Skin and skull 5943, M. C. Z., collected by Dr. Edward 
Palmer, 24 March, 1878. 
Type Locality.— Mexico: San Luis Potosi (probably near the city 
of the same name). ; 
Distribution.— At present known from the type locality only. 
General Characters.— Ears larger than in megalotis, the transverse 
ribs on the middle third of the outer edge subdividing and extending 
quite to the border; skull larger, the braincase inflated, and a distinct 
lachrymal ridge present; tips of hairs in sharp contrast with the dark 
bases; upper surface tawny olive; caleaneum with a well-developed 
keel. 
Color — Hair above long and silky; basal half dark, ‘fuscous black,’ 
the tips pale ‘tawny olive’; a band of downy hair at the posterior base 
of the ears whitish. Below, the basal two thirds of the hairs is ‘fus- 
cous black,’ the tips white, washed with ‘pale ochraceous buff.’ The 
distinct olive tone above is in marked contrast with the buffy or dark 
fur of the macrotis and megalotis coloration. 
Skull.— This species is at once distinguished from the other species 
of the genus by its larger and differently shaped skull (Plate 1, fig. 6). 
The braincase is flattened and broad, the rostrum broader and 
sharply depressed, with a more marked excavation medially; there is a 
distinct lachrymal ridge, as in Plecotus; the audital bullae are also 
larger. The teeth differ mainly in their stouter proportions, but the 
two upper incisors instead of being nearly side by side are one behind 
the other in the line of the tooth-row; there is also a greater disparity 
in size between the two anterior lower premolars, the first of which is 
much larger, in lateral view, than the second.
