No. 82 Vesperugo Pachyotis

Description.—“This species is readily distinguished by the peculiar thickness of the lower half of the outer side of the ear-conch, which appears as it were excavated out of the thick integument of the neck; tragus short, curved inwards.”—Dobson.

This bat is more fully described with three illustrations in Dobson’s Monograph; he does not mention where it is found, so it may or it may not be an Indian species.
