474 PHTLLOSTOMIDJ!. 



broad, narrowly rounded off at the tip ; inner margin strongly con- 

 vex below, decreasingly convex upwards ; outer margin slightly 

 convex, almost straight, terminating without forming a lobe midway 

 between the base of the tragus and the angle of the mouth : tragus 

 rather long and attenuated in upper third, which is not curved out- 

 • wards ; about the middle of its outer margin two smaU tooth-like 

 projections : nose-leaf shorter than the tragus, ovate-lanceolate ; 

 horseshoe-shaped nose-leaf scarcely developed in front of the nasal 

 apertures ; lower lip with three superior warts, bounded by a double 

 row of smaller warts. 



Wings from the tarsi ; calcaneum slightly longer than the foot ; 

 tail terminating by a slight projection on the upper surface of the 

 basal fourth of the large interfemoral membrane. 



Fur, above, dark brown throughout; beneath paler, the extremi- 

 ties of the hairs ashy ; extending thickly upon the humerus and 

 fleshy part of the forearm and adjoining wing-membrane, but the 

 legs and remaining parts of the wing-membrane and the interfemoral 

 membrane are quite naked ; beneath, the distribution of the fur is 

 similar. 



Skull narrow and elongated, nearly as wide between the post- 

 orbital fossae as at the first upper premolar (Plate XXVI. fig. 2c) ; 

 infraorbital foramen close to the margin of the orbit, in a line with 

 the posterior margin of the first molar ; teeth in the upper jaw very 

 similar to those of Phyllostoma hasfatum ; in the lower jaw the 

 canines are close together by their bases, and in front of them 

 are two narrow unicuspidate incisors (Plate XXVI. fig. 2) ; first 

 and third lower premolars equal in vertical extent, but the first is 

 larger and directed slightly forwards, and between them and 

 slightly to the outer side of the tooth-row the small second pre- 

 molar is placed (Plate XXVI. figs. 2 a, 2 h).

Very much smaller than L. bidens, but in the form of the ears, 

 nose-leaf, and teeth, and in the relative lengths of the bones of the 

 extremities very similar to that species. The fur is, however, dif- 

 ferent in colour and distribution, and in the single type specimen 

 (the skin of an adult female) there is no trace of a tail.
