A depression between the eyes ; muzzle rather broad ; nose 

 slightly projecting beyond the upper hp ; the two nostrils 

 separated from each other by a marked furrow. The ears are 

 rounded at the tip, with hardly any concavity below the tip, 

 the external margin being slightly convex. The tragus is 

 long, but a little tapering to its point, rounded off into the 

 straight, inner margin from the outer margin; which is 

 convex, but deeply concave at its base. A small anteriorly 

 curved lobule at its base. The fii'st finger is about one-fourth as 

 long as the fore arm and is strongly developed. The feet are 

 large, with ratlier powerful toes. The wing membrane is 

 attached to the base of the toes ; the wing membrane from 

 the elbow forwards is bitiwnish black, profusely spotted with 

 yellow, much the same as in K. picta, while in the remainder 

 of the membrane the yellow spots are confluent in lines from 

 the elbow and humerus to the leg, almost replacing the hair, 

 which is confined to narrow lines. The outer femoral mem- 

 brane is yellowish orange, with parallel interrupted lines 

 passing from the tail to the legs; fore arm and fingers yellow. 

 The face is clad as in V. formosus, and the fur is distributed 

 on the membranes in the same way as in that species. Denti- 

 tion the same as in V. formosus, only the teeth are much 

 larger in individuals of the same sex.
