Muzzle short, obtuse, and very thick ; nostrils tubular, projecting 

 abruptly for a considerable distance from the upper extremity of the 

 muzzle ; index finger with a large claw ; wings from the sides of 

 the body and from the base of the second toe; tail short, half con- 

 tained in the interfemoral membrane.

Dentition, inc. -q, c. j^j, pm. ^^, m. ^^. 



PremaxiUary bones well developed, united in front ; facial bones 

 much elevated above the margin of the jaw ; lower canines close 

 together. 



This genus is at once distinguished by the peculiar tubular 

 nostrils and by the dentition, which resembles that of no other 

 genus. Although thus separated from all other genera of Pteropo- 

 didae, it is evidently most closely related to Cynopterus, in which the 

 nostrils of some species and especially of some individuals are much 

 elongated, and the outer incisors in both jaws are sometimes very 

 small or deciduous. 



Bange. Austro-Malayan subregion.

 Cynopterus (Uronycteris) albiventer. Gray, P. Z. S. 1862, p. 262. 



Muzzle short, thick, and obtuse, the eye placed midway between 

 the ear and the extremity of the muzzle ; nostrils in the form of 

 cylindrical tubes projecting abruptly from the extremity of the 

 muzzle high above the margin of the upper lip, with slightly dilated 

 notched apertures ; upper lip very deep, divided by a narrow groove 

 which is continuous with the emargination between the bases of the 

 nasal tubes. Eyes large, placed high up on the sides of the face. 

 Ears oval, longer than the muzzle, the outer and inner margins of 

 the ear-conch convex, the summit rounded off, no lobule at the base 

 of the outer margin. 



Base of the first phalanx of the thumb contained within the wing- 

 membrane ; index finger vrith a large claw. Wing-membrane from 

 the sides of the body and from the base of the second toe ; inter- 

 femoral membrane much deeper and tail longer than in Gyno- 

 jpterus.
