23 b. Rhinolophus acuminatus audax , subsp. n.

Diagnosis. Smaller: forearm 47-49 ’ 5 mm.

Colour. Two adult females, in alcohol, unfaded; teeth unworn, or worn. As Rh. refulgens .

Type. ♀ ad. (in alcohol). Lombok . Collected by A. Everett, Esq. Brit. Mus. no. 97.4.18.16.

Remarks. This form ought perhaps to be separated specifically from Rh. acuminatus . The mandible is markedly shorter, the teeth a trifle smaller, the nasal swellings slightly narrower, the geographical habitat quite isolated from that of Rh. acuminatus . But the Bali form, still unknown, may perhaps connect them together.
