Characters.—
Like
thomasi
in wing structure, and in shape and size of sella and lancet, but in other parts much larger. Skull larger and upper premolar two only half in row instead of being wholly in row. Posterior edge of palatine narrower, less rounded than in
thomasi
and
t. latifolius
.

Skull: greatest length 20.6 (19.8-20.9); condylo-basal length 18.1 (17.1-18); palatal length 2.4 (2.1-2.5); width across nasal swellings 5.6 (5.3-5.5); interorbital width 2.6 (2.5-2.8); zygomatic width 10.5 (10.5-10.9); mastoid width 9.7 (9.4-9.8); braincase 8.2 (8.1-8.6); upper toothrow 8.3 (7.6-8.1); width across canines 5.8 (5.3-5.7); maxillary width 8.5 (8-8.6).

M
.). Su Shan Chang, Likiang, Yunnan, China, 1 male, 1 female (Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist.).
Remarks.—
The wing structure and maxillary width easily identify this bat. The large size separates it from typical
thomasi
.
