Closely allied to 2A. creaght Thos., described in 1896 from 
N. Borneo*, but distinguished by the following characters:—The 
usual connecting-process between the sella and the posterior 
lancet, obsolete (as a unique character) in ereaghi, is here repre- 
sented by a narrow crest on the hinder side of the sella, less than 
1 mm. in depth, and joining the posterior process low down ; 
therefore very different from the usual high connecting-process, 
between which and the obsolete one of creaghi it forms an inter- 
mediate stage; the upper profile of the crest is evenly rounded 
above and joins the top of the front face of the sella at a sharp 
angle, without any intervening notch such as is usually formed 
by the front surface of the sella projecting a little higher up- 
wards than the anterior point of the connectiug-process. The tuft 
of hair on the front face of the posterior process is very much 
longer and more abundant, hiding the posterior end of the 
connecting-process, and forming a most striking and prominent 
feature of the bat; the hairs forming the tufts are shining 
golden yellow, and cover the whole middle part of the posterior 
leaf, some of them also going on the sides of the connecting-process 
and on the back of the sella; there are also fine tufts of hair on 
each side at the junction of the horseshoe with the outer bases of 
the posterior process. The skull is essentially similar to that of 
creaghi in the development and shape of the rostral projection, 
which is, however, slightly higher, and has its front edge vertically 
above the anterior part of p‘, while in creaghi that edge is over 
the back of the same tooth, the canine-bearing part of the jaw in 
front of the projection appearing therefore to be longer in creaght 
than in canwée. 
P' in the tooth-row; p, minute, external, p, and p, touching 
each other internal to it; 1m one jaw out of eight it is absent. 
Forearm 50 mm. Length of skull from occiput to front of 
canine 22°5. 
Head and body 65 mm.; tail 22; ear 24. 
Hab. as above. 
* Ann. Mag. N. H. (6) xviii. p. 244. In the eighth line of this description, for 
the word “ sella” read “ posterior process.” The second lower premolar (ps), said to 
be “entirely absent,” proves, on the skull being cleaned, to be present on one side, 
though excessively minute.
