In size and in the form of the nose-leaf closely corresponding 

 with Ph. fuliginosa, but at once distinguished by the much smaller 

 thumb and foot, by the different form of the ears, and, especially, by 

 the presence of a distinct frontal glandular sac. 



Ears slightly shorter than in Ph.fuliginosa, but the inner margin 

 of the conch is similarly strongly convex in its lower half : in its 

 upper half, however, it is less convex than in that species, and, 

 owing to this and to the greater convexity of the lower two thirds 

 of the outer margin, the subacutely pointed tip does not project 

 outwards, but is directed almost vertically upwards ; at the com- 

 mencement of the antitragus at the lower third of the outer margin 

 a small but distinct acutely pointed projection. 



As in Ph. fuliffinosa, the nose-leaf is very narrow in front of the 

 nostrils, and there are two secondary leaflets on either side ; but the 

 erect leaf, though very similar in outline, is somewhat larger, and 

 its concave front surface has no trace of vertical dividing ridges. 



Frontal glandular sac small in the male ; its position very in- 

 distinctly marked in the female. 



Thumb short, the metacarpal bone considerably longer than the 

 first phalanx, and whoUy inclosed in the antebrachial membrane ; 

 wings from the ankles or from the tarsi ; interfemoral membrane 

 large, the last caudal vertebra quite free, projecting abruptly from 

 the straight posterior margin of the membrane ; feet very small, but 

 slightly longer than the thumb. 



Fur, above, greyish brown, the extremities of the hairs darker ; 

 beneath, paler. The inner side of the ear-conch clothed with hairs ; 

 in some specimens the whole concave surface of the conch is more 

 or less covered.
