molars on each half of the upper jaw (figs. 63 and 64). With respect to this feature, the 

 remaining Glossophaginae and Lonchophyllmae equipped with five postcanine teeth, are 

 subject to the same allometric conditions. It is, however, remarkable tliSiX Anoura (figs.51, 

 65) does not show a larger mtegration constant although it has more teeth (3 premolars in 

 the upper jaw), as in the other genera, with increasiag size the large mmiber is 

 superimposed by larger mterdental distances within the length of this measure. 

 Lengtli of the palate (GL): With respect to statistically securable allometric conditions of 

 this skull measure, Brachyphylla, Erophylla and Phyllonycteris correspond to the outgroup 

 in this parameter, too. Although the random samples of Brachyphylla and Phyllonycteris
