11. PHrLLOSTOJIA. 487 



2. Phyllostoma discolor. 



Phyllostoma discolor, Wagner, Wiegm. ArcUv, 1843, p. 366. 

 Phyllostoma innominatum, Tsckudi, Fauna Peruana, p. 62 (1844-46). 

 Phyllostoma angusticeps, Gervais, Exped. du Comte de Castelnau, 

 Zoologie, p. 47 (1855). 



Much smaller than Ph. hastatum, from which it is distinguished 

 by the following characters also : — Muzzle comparatively longer and 

 narrower, and the glandular elevations surrounding the horizontal 

 portion of the nose-leaf do not extend in front ; ears much more 

 broadly rounded off at the tip, the projection from the inner surface 

 of the ear-conch near the termination of the outer margin of the ear 

 rounded off, not square ; calcaneum shorter than the foot. Gular 

 sac as in PTi. hastatum. 



Fur, above, reddish brown, paler on the head, the base of the hairs 

 yellowish white ; beneath, the whole neck and the greater part of 

 the chest and abdomen pale brownish buff, the sides of the chest 

 and abdomen much darker 



Teeth as in Ph. hastatum.

ffab. (Juianas; Brazil; Peru (as far as 10° S. lat.). 



Specimens of this species, at first sight, resemble not full-grown 

 examples of Ph. hastatum, but, on closer examination, the much 

 narrower muzzle and the shortness of the calcaneum at once dis- 

 tinguish them. 



3. Phyllostoma elongatum. 



Phyllostoma elongatum, Geoffroy, Ann. du Museum, xv. p. 182, pi. 9 

 (1810) ; Wagne); Suppl. Schreb. Sdugeth. i. p. 896 (1844), v. p. 624 

 (1856) ; Tschudi, Fauna Peruana, p. 61 (1844^46). 



Alectops ater, Gray, P. Z. S. 1866, p. 114 (woodcut of head). 



Slightly larger than Ph. discolor, but much smaller than Ph. has- 

 tatum, and easily distinguished from both by the much greater length 

 of the vertical nose-leaf, which is also narrower and more attenuated 

 above ; the ears are comparatively longer and much broader, and 

 more rounded off above, owing to the much greater convexity of the 

 upper haK of the inner margin, the tragus is also more attenuated 

 (Plate XXV. fig. 4, head). In all other respects, in the form of the 

 muzzle, position and size of the gular sac, attachment of the wing- 

 membrane, comparative measurements, &c., this species closely re- 

 sembles Ph. hastatum,. 



(For measurements see Table, p. 488.) 



Hah. Surinam; Brazil; Peru. 



Type in the collection of the Paris Museum. The type of Alec- 

 tops ater. Gray, is in the Hunterian Museum.
