Eai'S shorter thau the head, narrow and subacutely pointed ; 

 more than half the outer margin of the ear-conch is deeply but not 

 abruptly concave beneath the tip, inner margin almost straight in 

 lower two thirds, convex in upper third ; upper margin of the trans- 

 verse terminal nose-leaf thickened, divided by two vertical incisions 

 into a narrow central acutely-pointed process and a triangular por- 

 tion on either side ; front margin of the transverse leaf concave and 

 divided into cells by three vertical ridges as in other species ; on 

 each side of the horscshoe-sbaped leaf two small leaflets, and a 

 single one in front (Plate VIII. fig. 4). 



Wing-membrane from the ankles or tarsus ; posterior margin of 

 the interfemoral membrane straight; projecting portion of the tail 

 nearly as long as the thumb. 



First upx)er premolar minute, in the tooth-row. 



Pur reddish brown or reddish yeUow above and beneath, the 

 bases of the hairs paler.

Hah. Austro-Malayan Subregion (Morty Island, Batchian, Am- 

 boyna; New Ireland). 



This species, which is probably the smallest of the genus except 

 Ph. pygmcea, has, for the size of its body, the longest forearm. In 

 every other known species (except Ph. commersonii from the Ethio- 

 pian Region) the forearm is shorter than the head and body ; in 

 this species it is longer.

Ears nearly as broad as long, with acutely pointed tips ; outer 

 margin deeply concave beneath the tip, then very convex, almost 

 meeting the inner margin at the base. Front edge of the horse- 

 shoe portion of the nose-leaf raised, bent up in the middle, and 

 separated from the lip by an underlying fold of membrane ; on 

 each side of the horseshoe a double fold of membrane ; upper trans- 

 verse nose-leaf large, erect, not thickened as in P. tricuspidata ; 

 upper portion or crest convex in front, overhanging the concave 

 base, which is divided into four cells by three prominent vertical 

 ridges ; the form of the crest is that of an isosceles triangle with
