106 BHUTOLOPHIDiE. 



tained presenting every shade between reddish brown and intense 

 black. 



Length (of an adult 2 ), head and body 3"-55, tail 2"-6, head l"-45, 

 nose-leaf l"-3 x 0"-65, ear l"-65, antitragusO"-7, forearm 2"-95, thumb 

 0"-45 ; third finger— metacarp. 2", 1st ph. 1", 2nd ph. l"-7 ; fifth 

 finger— metacarp. 2"-25, 1st ph. 0"-6, 2nd ph. l"-05; tibia l"-5, 

 foot 0"-9. 



Hab. India (Western Ghats ; Himalaya — Nipal, Masuri, Darjeel- 

 ing, Sikkim ; Ehasia Hills) ; Ceylon ; Java ; Sumatra ; Borneo ; 

 Philippine Islands. 



This species appears to be restricted to the highlands of the 

 countries inhabited by it. In the Himalaya the late Capt. T. Hutton 

 found it at an elevation of 5500 feet. (For notes on habits of Bh. 

 luctus, see my ' Monograph of the Asiatic Chiroptera,' pp. 40, 41).

Aquias trifoliata, Gray, P. Z. 8. 1847, p. 17 ; 1866, p. 81. 



Very similar to R. luetits in structure and even in the colour and 

 length of the fur ; distinguished by its smaller size and by the sub- 

 acute summit of the anteriorly flattened vertical process of the 

 central nose-leaf, which in R. luctus is truncate (Plate VII. fig. 3). 

 The free edge of the interfemoral membrane is straight ; and the 

 tip of the tail abruptly projects. 



Length, head and body 2"-3, tail 1""3, ear I", nose-leaf 0"-75 x 

 0"-45, forearm 2", thumb 0"-3, third finger 3"-15, fifth finger 2"-85, 

 tibia 0"-95, foot 0"-5. 



Hab. India (eastern coast), Java, Borneo. 



Type in the collection of the Leyden Museum. 



Rhinolophus luctus and R. trifoUatus were placed by Dr. J. E. 

 Gray in a separate subgenus Aquias — on insufficient grounds how- 

 ever ; for the form of the nose-leaf in these species differs only in 

 the greater development of its parts, not in any important structure, 

 from that of most species of this genus. As well might they have 

 been separated on account of the remarkable length of the fur of 

 the body. 



On the same principle the subgenus Phyllotis, Gray, was formed 

 for the reception of Rhinolophus philippinensis, Waterhouse (vide 

 infra, p. 107), with which R. mitratus, Blyth, should necessarily be 

 placed.
