(1999): small size (Forearm length: 47.40 - 49.30 mm), brown dorsal pelage, belly paler than the back, tail protruding from the uropatagium at least half of its length, rostrum slightly naked, pointed muzzle, smooth lips without pronounced folds, thick ears, rounded and widely separated in the crown, inner ear keel ends up behind the posterior border of the
antitragus, sagittal and lambdoid crest poorly developed, basisphenoid pits moderately deep and rounded.
The exact form of the funnel locking-apparatus, oval in most taxa but often with posterior inward protruding knobs (
antitragus), has a strong value as a species-specific character (Young et al., 2006).
2b and 2c), which are (P1) the most posterior point on the edge of the incisura anterior auris; (P2) the bump point of tragus; (P3) the deepest point in the incisura intertragica notch; (P4) the bump point of
antitragus; (P5) the strongest antihelical curvature; (P6) the deepest point on the floor of auricular concha; (P7) the central point of the ear canal opening.
The outer margins of the ears however were curved round to form a prominent
antitragus. The muzzle of the bat was well covered with hairs.
the subcortex point centered on the
antitragus. The sham point pellets were located 5 mm away from the real points.
A more frequently used method for excising cartilage alone is the posterior approach described by Beasley and Jones, who suggest segmental excision over the lower part of the concha in cases with a prominent
antitragus. (27) Bauer has proposed anterior excision of the cartilage together with the skin.
External examination revealed a craniofacial dysmorphism including dolichocephaly, hypertelorism, epicanthus, proptosis, convex nasal ridge, retrognathia, micrognathia, and small and low-set ears with prominent
antitragus, underfolded helix, and absence of right earlobe.
On physical examination at 34 years old she had normal body measurements and thin sparse hair, scalp nodules, without hair over them, low nasal bridge, excess of nasofrontal soft tissue with dystopia canthorum, widely spaced teeth with oligodontia, cupped protruding ears with small tragus and
antitragus, absent nipples, partial skin sindactilia of third and fourth fingers and second and third toes--with thin and hypoplastic nails--and camptodactyly of fifth fingers, dry skin, and scanty secondary sexual hair (Figure 1(b)).
The ear has a low, rounded tragus and a small, well-developed
antitragus that lacks a basal lobe; pinnae are separated and project anteriorly; the upper lip is broad, slightly wrinkled, conspicuously fringed with hairs, and extends over the lower lip; nostrils are tubular; wings broad, with thin flight membranes; legs and feet are slender; tail is enclosed in the uropatagium, except for the last two vertebrae, which extend free beyond the interfemoral membrane; skull is dorsoventrally flattened with a conspicuous shallow depression in the middle of the nasals that makes the anterior end of the rostrum appear to flare up; auditory bullae are disc shaped, reflecting the great expansion of the margin of its inner border (Figs.
In this survey, morphological characters as colure, distribution of hair, shape of uropatagium (tail membrane) and nose leaf, calcar (a foot spur of cartilage that supports the membrane between the foot and tail), post calcar, shape of ear, tragus and
antitragus. wingspan, total length (head and body), tail, foot and forearm length (from the base of the thumb to the end of the ulna), were measured by caliper (0.01cm) and weighted with 0.01 gr.
