Rhinolophus coelophyllus, Peters, P. Z. S. 1866, p. 426, pi. xxiv. ; 

 Dobson, Monogr. Asiat. Chiropt. p. 63 (1876). 



Ears large, with narrow acute tips projecting outwards ; anti- 

 tragus separated by an angular emargination from the outer margin 

 of the ear ; horseshoe well developed ; horizontal margins of central 

 nose-leaf triangular, small ; erect portion rather short, with parallel 

 sides and rounded summit meeting the connecting vertical process 

 at the same level ; this process is thick and long, its posterior por- 

 tion is not connected with the posterior terminal leaf, but is received 

 into an opening in its front surface ; the posterior leaf is shortly 

 triangular in outline, formed of very thick integument, and its sur- 

 face is marked by a crucial ajjerture leading into a deep cavity lined 

 ■with hairs ; the lower part of this aperture receives the posterior 

 extremity of the connecting nose-leaf (Plate ^11. fig. 1). The sur- 

 face of the terminal leaf is covered with rather long hairs, its inferior
