Cynonycteris brachyotis, Dohson, P. Z. S. 1877, p. 116. 



Resembles C. minor, Dobson, in size and in the nakedness of the 

 extremities, but may be at once distinguished by the much shorter 

 ears, longer muzzle, and deciduous first upper premolars. 



Ears short, oval, rounded off above ; a prominent thickened lobule 

 at the base of the outer margin of the ear-conch ; muzzle long and 

 narrow, as in C. amplexicaudata (Plate V. fig. 3) ; males with shoul- 

 der-glands concealed by tufts of thickened yellow hairs, as m Pteropus. 



Fur short, dark brown above, with greyish tips ; beneath light 

 greyish brown. On the upper surface, the back of the neck, pos- 

 teriorly, and the shoulders are very thinly covered, almost naked, 

 and the fur of the body scarcely extends upon the membranes ; the 

 tibiae and feet and adjacent interfemoral membrane are naked ; 

 beneath, a broad band of fur extends outwards behind the elbow and 

 forearm, lessening in width towards the carpus. 



First upper premolar very small in. inmiature individuals, deci- 

 duous in adults ; remaining teeth as in C. amplexicaudata. 



In the foUowing Table the relative measurements of this species 

 and of G. minor are given : —
