312 G. E. Dobson — Indian and Burmese Cliiroptera. [No. 3, 



This species appears to be very generally distributed and in great 

 abundance, in Southern India. Almost all collections from the Deccan con- 

 tains examples of it. The presence of a small spine-like process at the 

 commencement of the lower third of the outer margin of the ear- conch 

 readily distinguishes the species from all other closely allied forms. 



2. ^liyllorliina fulva. 



Hipposideros fulvus, Gray, Mag. Zool. Bot. II, p. 592, (1838). 



Almost as common in Southern India as the foregoing species, and 

 very variable in the colour of its fur, in the attachment of the wing-mem- 

 brane to the posterior extremities, and in the size of the ears. 



3. Megaderma hjra. 



Megaderma lyra, GeofEroy, Ann. du Mus. XY, p. 190, (1810). 



This species may be considered characteristic of the Indian and 

 Ceylonese subregions. Its place in Burma is taken by M. spasma, L. It 

 is very generally distributed throughout the Indian Peninsula, inhabiting 

 caves, ruined buildings, and the roofs of houses.

III. — Species eeom Buema. 

 1. Pliyllorliina larvata. 

 Mhinolopliiis larvatiis, Horsfield, Zoolog. Researches in Java, (182-±). 

 Specimens agreeing in colour (bright chestnut) with others obtained 

 at Prome, Uj^per Burma, by Dr. Anderson in 1868. Indian specimens of 

 this species are darker coloured, and many have a bluish tinge. 

 Hab. Moulmein. 



2. Vesperugo (Hesperoptenus) Ticlcelli. 

 Nycticejus TichelU, Blyth, J. A. S. B. XX, p. 157. 

 Hitherto recorded from the Peninsula of India only. The next 

 species is new and belongs to the same subgenus. 

 Hab. Tenasserim. 



3. Vesperti,(jo (Hesperoptenus) Blanfordi, n. sp. 

 Head very flat and broad ; muzzle obtusely conical ; nostrils opening 

 widely apart by semi-lunate apertures, the margins of which are level with 

 the extremity of the muzzle : ears short, triangular in outline, with broadly 

 rounded off tips ; upper half of the outer margin of the ear-conch straight, 

 then convex, sliglitly concave opposite the base of the tragus, terminating 

 abruptly in a deep lobe closer to the angle of the mouth than to the base
