about two-thirds that of wr ; lower molars with protoconid 

 noticeably higher than the other cusps, the posterior triangle 

 slightly the wider of the two in m 1 and ro 2 , a little the narrower 

 in m 3 ; behind entoconid the cingulum forms a minute though 

 evident accessory cusp. 



Remarks. — Among the leaf-nosed bats of Europe this species 

 is easily recognizable by its large size taken in connection with 

 the low, rounded upper margin of the connecting process of sella. 

 In It. mehelyi, which approaches it in size, the connecting process 

 is sharply pointed above. Two geographical races are known, one 

 occupying the Continental range of the species, the other confined 

 to Great Britain.
