have become slightly differentiated (A. p. trinitatis), as well as in 

 Grenada (.1. p. grenadensis). 



Ardops eaitiensis Allen. 



Ardops haitiensis J. A. Allen, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., 1908, 24, 

 p. 581. 



A single specimen from Cafia Honda, San Domingo, is the type of 

 this newly discovered species. The three other known members of 

 the genus are Lesser Antillean. 



The closely allied genera, Phyllops and Ariteus, seem to represent 

 Ardops on the islands of Cuba and Jamaica respectively. The case 

 seems nearly paralleled by that of the Phyllonycterine bats, repre- 

 sented in Jamaica by Reithronycteris, in Cuba by Phyllonycteris, — 

 each monotypic, — and in other of the Greater Antillean islands 

 (Bahamas, Porto Rico) by Erophylla. In this instance, however, 

 there is also a Cuban species of Erophylla. 



Ardops montserratensis (Thomas). 



Stenoderma montserratense Thomas, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1894, 

 p. 133. 



In the island of Montserrat is found this large species, where, 

 according to its describer, it is said to do considerable damage among 

 the cocoa plantations (probably in eating the young fruit). During 

 the day it is found hanging under the branches of trees. The forearm 

 measurement is given in the type as 51.5 'mm. 



Ardops nichollsi (Thomas). 



Stenoderma nichollsi Thomas, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., 1891, ser. 6, 

 7, p. 529. 



This bat is known from Dominica only, to which it is supposed to 

 be peculiar. Its forearm measurement is 46 mm. 



Ardops luciae (Miller). 



Stenoderma luciae Miller, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia, 1902, 

 p. 407. 



The Santa Lucia Ardops differs from that of Dominica {A. nichollsi), 

 according to Miller, in its larger size and more deeply bifid inner
