1. Amorpliochilus schnatlii. 



Amorphociiilus sclinablii, Petas, MB. Akad. Berl. 1877, pp. 185-87, 

 pi. figs. 1-10. 



Ears rounded, almost as broad as higli, extending to the extremity 

 of the muzzle ; outer margin of the ear-couch slightly emarginate 

 below ; tragus as in F. horrens, broadly triangular, arising from a 

 narrower base, the outer angle of the triangle acutely poLated, the 

 shorter inner and the longer superior angle rounded off. The small 

 eyes are almost concealed by the ears. The upper lip is high, and 

 its upper front extremity projects beyond the lower Up. The almost 

 triangular nasal apertures are placed in the front surface of a fleshy 

 disk, like the extremity of a pig's snout, the upper rim of which, as 

 in a pig, is raised above the muzzle. WhUst the nasal apertures in 

 Furia are separated only by a narrow partition, in this species the 

 partition is very broad. At the angle of the mouth a peg-like lappet 

 is placed, which also appears in Furia, though less developed ; on 

 each side of the lower lip a second lappet with its extremity inclined 

 inwards ; and in the middle of the inferior surface of the muzzle 

 another lappet, which sends forth on either side a cutaneous ridge 

 directed outwards and backwards. In the middle of the margin of 

 the lower lip a broad, smooth, triangular pad. Palate-ridges nine. 



Wings as in Fun'a. The transverse lines on the interfemoral 

 membrane clothed with short hairs, and the tail terminates at the 

 eighth of these lines ; the wing-membrane along the sides of the 

 body is covered as far as a line corresponding to the middle of the 

 humerus. 



Fur dark brown ; the hairs of the back paler in the middle, the 

 shorter hairs beneath paler at their extremities. 



Teeth as in Furia horrens.
