Habitat and Type, as above.<br />

This bat has been determined as E.paphyotis t Dobs, <strong>of</strong><br />

Assam, to which it is no doubt closely allied. But it may be<br />

distinguished by its larger size (<strong>the</strong> type being barely adult),<br />

<strong>the</strong> attachment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> wing membrane to <strong>the</strong> middle <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

metatarsus instead <strong>of</strong> to <strong>the</strong> base <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> toes, and by its<br />

proportionally much larger outer upper incisor.<br />
