Type locality. — Charlemont, Givet, Ardennes, France. 



Geographical distribution. — Central and southern Continental 

 Europe. 



Diagnosis. — Size essentially as in Myotis nattereri (forearm 

 about 40 mm., condylobasal length of skull about 15 mm.) ; ear 

 moderately long, extending 2 to 3 mm. beyond tip of muzzle 

 when laid forward, its posterior border with a deep almost 

 angular emargination slightly above middle ; foot about half as 

 long as tibia ; wing membrane extending to base of outer toe ; free 

 margin of interfemora'l membrane sometimes fringed ; fur some- 

 what woolly in texture, the hairs of back tricolored, drab at 

 base, yellowish at middle and dark brown at extreme tip. 



External characters. — Whole animal larger and more robust 

 than Myotis mystacinus, though of essentially the same form and 

 proportions. Ears and membranes relatively thick and leathery, 

 not semi-transparent as in the related small species. Ear 

 moderately long, extending about 2 mm. beyond nostril 

 when laid forward, its size and general form much as in M. 

 mystacinus except that emargination of posterior border is deep 

 and conspicuous, in most specimens forming an evident angle 

 below. Inner surface of conch marked by seven or eight short 

 but well developed cross ridges. Antitragus small and ill-defined. 

 Tragus slightly more than half as high as conch, its greatest 

 width contained nearly three times in length of' anterior border, 

 both its margins essentially straight from level of anterior base
