Moschiola kathygre new species Type . – B.M. 46.209, skin and skull. Type locality. – Kumbalgamuwa, 7°06’N , 80°51’E , 747m (= 2454 feet ), Kandy District , Central Province , Sri Lanka . Distribution. – Wet Zone of Sri Lanka , from Sinharaja Forest through the lowlands around Colombo north to Katagamuwa on the border of the Dry Zone at 6°24’N , 81°25’E , and into the highlands at least to the Kandy district. Diagnosis. – Coloura muchwarmer, more ochery brownthan other species; spots and stripes are yellowed, not white; at least twotolerably complete longitudinal stripes along flanks, with an elongated spot-row between them, and two spotrows above them; the upper stripe curves round on shoulder to be continuous with the anterior transverse stripes; two bold stripes over the haunch, and a third one further back under the tail; haunch is more densely spotted; crown and nose less darkened; on underside is a sharp differentiation between a white median strip and the pale ochery of the rest of underside; lower halves of the hindlimbs are darker. Size small, hindlegs relatively short. The followingmeasurements are diagnostic cf. M. indica (in mm): tail length max. 26, width across canine alveoli <50, least breadth across maxilla max. 14.2, braincase breadth max. 33; andthefollowing is diagnostic cf. both M. indica and M. meminna : hindfoot length max. 115. Compared to both other species, rostrum breadth is less relative to skull length; compared to M. meminna , bullae are narrower, especially relativeto interbullar distance. Fig. 11. Skins of Moschiola , ventral view. Left to right: Moschiola kathygre , new species (BM 77.4.14.1), M. meminna (BM 15.3.1.251), M. indica (BM 19.6.3.86). Etymology. – Greek kathygre , feminine of kathygros ( kata [down from, on account of] + hygros [wetness], hence = growing in wet places, with reference toits Wet Zone habitat).
