Remarks. — In general appearance Myotis oxygnaihus resembles 

 M. myotis, though the colour perhaps averages somewhat darker. 

 It is readily distinguishable, however, by its smaller skull 

 (distinctly smaller head in spirit specimens), and shorter, narrower 

 ears. In form the skull is like that of M. myotis ; and the 

 teeth are not peculiar except for their small size, a character 

 readily appreciable on comparison of the canines or of the crown 

 area of upper molars. The range of Myotis oxygnaihus is, so far 

 as known, strictly Mediterranean, probably coincident with that 

 of M. capaccinii and Pipistrellus kuhlii. North of the Alps 

 ilf. myotis occurs alone.
