 JPhyllorhina masoni, Dobson, J. A. S. B. 1872, p. 338. 



This fine species, very similar to P. diadema, but differing from it in 

 the form of the concave front surface of the transverse nose-leaf, which 

 is divided into two cells only by a single central longitudinal ridge, has been 

 found at Moulmain, and the single type specimen is in the Indian Museum, 

 Calcutta. Closely allied to it, but much smaller, is P. nicobarensis, Dobson, 

 from the Nieobars.f]

P. bieolor inhabits the Malayan countries and Philippines, and was 

 obtained by Hutton in the Deyra Doon and hills up to 5500 feet. 



According to Mr. Dobson, the golden-coloured specimens examined proved 

 to be pregnant females exclusively. Examples so coloured occur in several 

 species both of Rhinolophus and Phyllorhina. \\
