 p. 8 (1861) ; Peters, MB. Akad. Berlin, 1871, p. 329. 



Slightly smaller than Ph. bicolor, which it resembles very closely 

 in general appearance. The ears are the same length as in the 

 long-eared variety of that species, similarly oval and rounded off 

 above, but they are comparatively narrower and closer together ; 

 their inner margins are more regularly convex from the base 

 upwards, and their inner sides are united posteriorly by a distinct 

 band, about one tenth of an inch in height. In the only specimen 

 as yet discovered the nasal membranes have been completely de- 

 stroyed ; but I have no doubt they are generally similar to those of 

 Ph. bicolor, as this species evidently belongs to the same section of 

 the genus. 



Thumb short, the first phalanx shorter than the metacarpal bone. 

 Wings from the ankles. Tail and interfemoral membrane as in 

 Ph. bicolor, the extremity of the tail projecting slightly more than in 

 that species. 



Fur, above, white at the base, the terminal third dark brown ; 

 beneath, dull buffy white : on the whole, the colour of the fur is 

 very similar to that of most specimens of Ph. bicolor. 



Upper incisors very small, lower incisors trifid ; upper canines 

 much curved forwards, each tooth with a small internal and 

 anterior basal cusp, and a projection near the middle of its posterior 

 concave margin ; no minute upper premolar ; the teeth, therefore, 

 agree in number vsdth those of Ph. tridens.
