FASCICULI MALATENSES 
slightly narrower than the horizontal part. The connecting process behind the 
sella hardly rises above the vertical part of the same and is rounded off. The 
posterior leaf is of moderate size, the tip elongate* and the margins slightly 
concave, Lower lip with three vertical grooves. Wing membranes from the 
ankles ■ interfemoral membrane nearly straight ; only the extreme tip of the 
tail projects. 
Fur moderately long, sepia brown above, lighter beneath. 
Dimensions of type: — Head and body, 46 mm.; Tail, 20 mm. ; Forearm, 
41 mm. ; Ear (from base of antitragus to tip), 14 mm. ; Tibia, 16 mm. ; 
Greatest width of horseshoe, 8 mm. ; Length from tip of posterior leaf to 
anterior edge of horseshoe, 13 mm. ; Total expanse, 227 mm. 
Habitat. Biserat, Jalor. 
Type . Adult female in spirit collected on the 8th August, 1901. 
There are some specimens in the British Museum collected by Signor 
L. Fea in the Karin Hills, Burmah, and recorded by Thomas,’ under the 
name R. affinis rouxt 1 (Temm.) These specimens, though slightly larger and 
somewhat more rufous in body colour, belong undoubtedly to the species just 
described, or are, at most, only subspecifically distinct. As regards the name 
rouxi, Temminck states that it is a bat similar in all respects to R. affinis , and 
gives the length of the forearm as * 1 pouce, lolignes,* or 50 mm. Horse- 
field’s type from Java has a forearm of 49'5 mm. ; there can, therefore, be 
little doubt that Temm mac’s rouxi is a synonym of affinis . 
The present species may be at once distinguished from R . affinis by its 
smaller size, and from R. minor by the shape of the connecting process between 
the sella and the posterior leaf, which, in this latter species, ends in a point 
well above the vertical portion of the sella. 
Rhino lop bus spadix. Mill. (Proc. Wash. Acad. Sci. m, p. 136 (1901) ) from 
Sirhassen Id. is closely allied to this species.
