ALLEN: MAMMALS OF THE WEST INDIES. 227 



The relationships of this bat are evidently with the Jamaican 

 Mormoops, of which Rehn considers it a subspecies. Miller, however, 

 (1904, p. 343) "can see no necessity ... .for applying to this well 

 marked form a trinomial name"; but I have here followed Rehn in 

 order to emphasize this relationship. The chief point of distinction is 

 that the first upper premolar of cinnamomea attains its greatest 

 thickness posteriorly, giving the tooth a subconoid, instead of a 

 rhomboid, outline. The type locality is Casetal St. Antonio el 

 Fundador, Cuba; but specimens apparently indistinguishable are 

 recorded by Rehn from San Domingo (Aquacate), and Mona Island, 

 between San Domingo and Porto Rico.

The typical subspecies is confined to the island of San Domingo 

 and Haiti. The type was from the latter country; and additional 

 specimens are recorded from San Domingo City by Elliot (1896, p. 82) 

 and from Cana Honda by J. A. Allen (1908a, p. 581).

The Jamaican Otopterus has been separated from those of the 

 neighboring islands on the basis of smaller size combined with slight 

 cranial differences. It is said to be one of the commonest of the bats 

 on the island. Specimens are recorded from Spanishtown and Kings- 

 ton ; the Museum contains two specimens from Port Antonio, collected 

 in 1909 by Dr. Thomas Barbour. 



Otopterus waterhousii minor (Gundlach). 



Macrotus minor Gundlach, Monatsb. k. preuss. Akad. Wiss. Berlin, 

 1864, p. 382. 



This Cuban representative of icatcrhousii is said to be readily 

 characterized by its small size and deeper coloration, though it closely 

 approaches the Jamaican race. The type came from western Cuba.
