Nose-leaf consisting of three portions, an anterior, a central, and a posterior: the 
anterior nose-leaf is horizontal, more or less horseshoe-shaped, with a deep incision in 
its anterior border; it contains within it the openings of the nostrils; the central 
membrane (the sella) rises between and behind the nostrils, is erect in position, 
flattened in front, and from its back a vertical, laterally compressed process arises, 
which is either free, or connected with the posterior leaf, which is also erect, triangular 
in form, with depressions or crypts on its anterior surface. The lower end of the outer 
border of the conch is expanded to form a large antitragus. Metacarpal of fourth 
digit longer than that of the second digit. Basioccipital generally narrow between the 
auditory bullse; cochleae prominent, deeply grooved externally; foramen rotundum 
united with the sphenoidal fissure. 
Dentition : i. c. p pm. | or m. | = 32 or 28.

premolar minute, pointed, either in the tooth-row or placed somewhat externally 
between the closely approximated canine and the large second premolar.
