Head long, triangular ; upper lip with a wide groove directly con- 

 tinuous with the emargination between the nostrils, the edges of the 

 grooves smooth, not thickened as in Pteropus and Oynoptenis ; ears 

 moderate, triangular, rounded at the tip, the upper half of the outer 

 margin straight, the lower half convex. 



Posteriorly the ears are naked, except at their bases, anteriorly 

 the conch is clothed with a few very short fine hairs. The fur of 

 the body extends upon the humerus and upon the fleshy part of the 

 forearm, the remaining part to the carpus has only a few very fine 

 hairs. The portion of the back and wing-membrane covered with 

 fur across the loins is not more than an inch in breadth. The inter- 

 femoral membrane is densely covered with hair at the root of the 

 tail, and on either side as far as lines drawn from the knee-joints to 

 the base of the free portion of the tail ; the remaining portion, the 

 legs, and a considerable part of the wing-membrane beyond are 

 clothed with short thinly spread fur, which extends along the wing- 

 membrane and legs to the back of the feet. Beneath, the ante- 

 hiimeral membrane is clothed with rather long, thinly spread fur, 

 and the wing-membrane is similarly covered as far as a line drawn 

 from the knee to a point about half an inch posterior to the elbow, 

 whence the fur extends outwards posterior to the forearm to the 

 carpus. The interfemoral membrane, the legs, and the feet are 

 covered with a few very short hairs. Fur short, varying in colour 

 from dark olive or smoky brown to reddish or yellowish brown. 

 First upper premolars minute, equally distant from the canine and 

 second premolar ; second premolar exceeding lower canine in vertical 

 extent ; first lower premolar small, less than half the size of the 

 second premolar ; second premolar nearly equal to lower canine in 

 vertical extent.
