THE FAMILIES AND GENERA OF BATS. 139 



Genus LONCHOPHYLLA Thomas. 



1903. Lonchophylla Thomas, Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., 7th ser., XII, p. 458, 

 October, 1903. 



Type-species. — Lonchophylla mordax Thomas. 



Geographic distribution. — Brazil and Venezuela. 



Number of forms. — Two species of Lonchophylla are known. 



Characters. — Like Glossophaga, but zygomatic arch incomplete; 

 inner upper incisor higher than wide and more than double the bulk 

 of outer tooth, which stands by itself near middle of space between 

 large incisor and canine; lower incisors with narrow trifid cutting 

 edges, the outer separated from canine by a space nearly equal to the 

 length of its crown ; and last upper molar nearly as large as either of 

 the others, its parastyle short. 



Species examined. — Lonchophylla mordax Thomas and Z. thomasi 

 J. A. Allen. 



Remarks. — This genus is well characterized by the incomplete 

 zygomatic arch, and by the form of the incisors both above and below. 

 Externally it resembles Glossophaga.

Characters. — In general like Glossophaga; zygomatic arch com- 

 plete; tail about half as long as femur, projecting beyond edge of 

 very narrow interfemoral membrane. Teeth essentially as in Glosso- 

 phaga, but upper incisors much smaller and of equal length, the outer 

 sharp pointed, the inner with flat cutting edge, neither of the incisors 

 in contact with the other or with canine ; lower incisors very minute, 

 with roundish flat crowns, the four teeth standing as two pairs, one 

 pair on each side of a broad median space; upper and lower pre-
