Type-species. — Megaderma cor Peters. 
Geographic distribution.-— Eastern Africa. 
Number of forms. — The type is the only species of Cardioderma at 
present known. 
Characters. — Skull essentially as in Lavia , but with frontal con- 
cavity longer and considerably deeper; anterior palatal emargina- 
tion longer and narrower. Teeth differing from those of Lavia and 
resembling those of Megaderma in the crowding of the main cusps 
both above and below, the reduction of the mesostyle in m 1 and m 2 
and consequent distorting of the W pattern, and in the reduction of 
the posterior segment of the lower molars, this character being even 
more noticeable than in Megaderma. 
Species examined. — Cardioderma cor (Peters).
