 Type-species. — Megaderma cor Peters. 

 Geographic distribution. — Eastern Africa. 



Number of forms. — The type is the only species of Cardioderma at 

 present known. 



Characters. — Skull essentially as in Lavia, but with frontal con- 

 cavity longer and considerably deeper; anterior palatal emargina- 

 tion longer and narrower. Teeth differing from those of Lavia and 

 resembling those of Megaderma in the crowding of the main cusps 

 both above and below, the reduction of the mesostyle in m 1 and m z 

 and consequent distorting of the W pattern, and in the reduction of 

 the posterior segment of the lower molars, this character being even 

 more^oticeable than in Megaderma. 

 Species examined. — Cardioderma cor (Peters).
