Our initial observation of the skulls of this species was based on the only four skulls that had been removed and these showed striking variation in the profile, with the three northeastern individuals having a distinct upwards inflection of the rostrum while the southwestern individual had no inflection. To determine whether this inflection was indicative of taxonomic distinction, age, location or gender, we x-rayed the eight available spirit specimens. Subsequently additional skulls were removed and genetic material from individuals with inflected and non-inflected skulls analysed. No allozyme differences were apparent between individuals of either skull

We scored age according to the following three categories of tooth wear; none, intermediate and obviously well worn (canines and P4 generally showed little wear but wear in the upper molars was clearer and judged by the degree of wear of the post-protocrista) and compared these with two classes of magnitude of inflection; no or little inflection and marked inflection. Although these categories were somewhat subjective and sample size inadequate, there were some clear outcomes. For example, the two specimens from Fletchervale Station exhibited the strongest inflection; however, one was classed with no tooth wear while the other with wellworn teeth. Conversely, the specimens from Alcoota and Boomika represented the least inflection and had moderate and no tooth wear respectively. However, we regard this result with some caution because aging bats by tooth wear may be misleading. Our view is that the skull variation is not indicative of any taxonomic distinction.</paragraph>

The development of the lambdoidal crests varies amongst specimens. In general they begin weakly at the base and either quickly diminish to no trace or continue as a small thickened ridge until they sweep markedly anteriorly where they meet the sagittal suture. There is either complete absence of a lambda or a small protuberance. A sagittal crest is very weak to absent. The interparietals and parietals are inflated, leaving a diamond shaped depression into the skull. There are distinct foramen (transverse sinus) in the suture between the parietal and interparietals. The mid-line of the skull is slightly concave from the lambda to well onto the rostrum. The postorbital and lachrymal processes are moderately developed, as is the supraorbital ridge. The posterior border of the narial emargination is round.</paragraph>
