Rhinolophus euryotis, Temminck, Munoqr. Mammal, ii. p. 26, pi. 29. 

 tig. 5, pi. 32. figs. 13, 14, 15 ; Peters, MB. Akad. Berl. 1871, p. 305. 



Ears large, very similar to those of Rh. affinis, but less acute, 

 and the outer margin more deeply concave immediately beneath the 

 tip ; nose-leaf broad, the horizontal leaf concealing the muzzle, and 

 even projecting slightly beyond it, divided in front by a longitudinal 

 groove with raised edges, which is bounded behind and separated 

 from the commencement of the horizontal base of the sella by a 

 short erect projection (Plate VI. fig. 1 a) ; base of the seUa with a 

 triangular lappet on either side concealing the nostrils, the erect 

 jjrocess expanded above, with strongly convex sides and rounded 

 summit, scarcely exceeded in height by the rounded upper margin 

 of the connecting-process ; terminal leaf acute, but its extremity not 

 attenuated. Lower lip with three grooves. 



Tail very short ; interfemoral membrane square or concave be- 

 hind ; last rudimentary caudal vertebra projecting. Wings from 

 the lower end of the tibia near the ankles ; feet very long (Plate VI. 

 fig. 1)*. 



Fur light brown above, buffy brown beneath. 



Pirst upper premolar in the outer side of the space between the 

 canine and second premolar ; lower incisors trifid, not crowded.

Ears large, acutely pointed : outer margin deeply hollowed out 

 beneath the tip ; antitragus long, separated from the outer margin 

 of the ear by an acute angular notch. Nose-leaf large ; horseshoe 

 broad, projecting laterally and in front beyond the upper lip so as 

 to completely conceal the muzzle when viewed from above ; base of 

 the sella between the nostrils moderately broad, the vertical portion 

 maintaining the same width for half its height, then abruptly nar- 

 rowing and roiuided off above, meeting at the same level (as in Rh. 



* I have had the figure of this species drawn full size, with nose-leaf 

 enlarged, as the figure given by Temminck is vei-y imperfect, and a thorough 

 knowlerlgp of its characters is necessary in order to understand the synoptical 

 table at p. 102. antea.
