13. KHRIVOULA. 339 



8. Kerivoula papuensis. 



Slightly larger than K. lanosa ; ears as in K. hardwickii ; no second 

 emajgination on the outer side of the ear-couch, but the tragus has 

 a distinct rounded lobe at the base of its outer margin, which is 

 succeeded by a horizontal notch opposite the base of its inner margin, 

 not so deep as in K. jagorii. 



Fur, above, dark brown, the terminal fourth of the hairs shining 

 yeUow ; beneath, paler brown, the extreme tips shining grey. On 

 the upper surface the humerus is naked in its distal half, but the 

 forearm is clothed with short appressed golden-yellow hairs, which 

 also cover the thumb to the base of the claw and extend outwards 

 along the second finger and upon the distal half of the middle finger; 

 the wing- and interfemoral membranes are nearly naked, but the tail 

 and the feet are clothed like the forearm, and a few hairs appear 

 upon the legs ; the posterior margin of the interfemoral has a few 

 fine hairs forming a thin fringe ; beneath, the membranes and ex- 

 tremities are almost quite naked. 



Upper inner incisors long and unicuspidate, outer incisors on each 

 side very short, scarcely exceeding the cingulum of the inner inci- 

 sor ; all the lower incisors trifid and at right angles to the direction 

 of the jaws ; the incisors near the canines nearly as wide as the 

 others, very different in shape from those of K. hardwickii ; first 

 upper premolar exceeding the second in vertical extent, but rather 

 less than it in cross section at the base, and as long or nearly as 

 long as the third premolar, which exceeds both teeth in transverse 

 diameter. 



Length, head and body about l"-8, tail l"-8, head 0"-7, ear 0"-65, 

 tragus 0"'4, forearm 1"'5, thumb 0"'35 ; third finger — metacarp. 

 l"-45, 1st ph. 0"-65, 2nd ph. 1" ; fifth finger— metacarp. l"-4, 1st 

 ph. 0"-45,2nd ph. 0"-4; tibia 0"-65, foot 0"-35.

9. Kerivoula serosa. 

 Kerivoula Krosa, Tomes, P. Z. S. 1858, p. 333. 



Ears rounded above, with a shallow emargination occupying the 

 upper third of the outer margin of the ear-conch ; tragus long, taper- 

 ing, and acutely pointed. 



Face moderately hairy ; the side of the face, between the eye and 

 the ear, and the chin nearly naked. The fur of the back does not 

 extend upon the membranes, but the upper surfaces of the legs, feet, 

 and heel-cartilages, of the tail, forearms, thumbs, and index fingers, 

 and of the two terminal phalanges of the longest fingers are more or 

 less clothed with short appressed shining hairs, thickest on the fore- 

 arms and tail. The margin of the interfemoral membrane between 

 the extremities of the calcanea and tail is sparingly furnished with
