RAYMOND HALL AND TICUL ALVAREZ + + +In 1928 when Miller and Allen (Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., 144) published +their revisionary account of American bats of the genus _Myotis_, the +black myotis, _Myotis nigricans_, was known no farther north than +Chiapas and Campeche. Collections of mammals made in recent years for +the Museum of Natural History of The University of Kansas include +specimens of _M. nigricans_ from eastern Mexico as far north as +Tamaulipas. Critical study of this newly acquired material reveals that +it pertains to an hitherto unnamed subspecies that may be named and +described as follows: + + +MYOTIS NIGRICANS DALQUESTI new subspecies + +_Type._--Male, adult, skin and skull, No. 23839 Museum of Natural +History, University of Kansas; from 3 km. E of San Andrés Tuxtla, 1000 +ft., Veracruz; obtained on January 5, 1948, by Walter W. Dalquest, +original No. 8444. + +_Range._--Tropical Life-zone of eastern México from southern Tamaulipas +to central Chiapas. + +_Diagnosis._--Color black or dark brown, venter having brownish wash; +size large (see measurements); M1 and M2 quadrangular; prominent +protostyle on P4; P2 and P3 in straight line; sagittal crest absent. + +_Comparison._--Color almost as in _Myotis nigricans extremus_, the +subspecies occurring adjacent to _dalquesti_ in Chiapas and Tabasco. +From _M. n. extremus_, _dalquesti_ differs as follows: larger; hypocone +in M1 and M2 broader making posterointernal part less rounded; +protostyle of P4 prominent instead of absent; P3 in line with C and P2 +instead of displaced lingually; sagittal crest absent instead of present +posteriorly. _Myotis nigricans nigricans_ and _M. n. dalquesti_ are of +approximately equal size; otherwise they differ in the same features as +do _extremus_ and _dalquesti_. + +_Measurements._--Average and extreme measurements of seven males from +the type locality, followed by those of 19 females from 38 km. SE Jesús +Carranza, and finally length of forearm and cranial measurements of +eight female topotypes of _M. n. extremus_, are as follows: Total +length, 80 (77-82), 76 (72-80); length of tail, 32.8 (30-35), 33.5 +(31-35); hind foot, 7.9 (7-8), 8.0 (8-8); forearm, 34.2 (33.6-35.3), +35.1 (33.1-36.4), 33.1 (31.8-34.3); greatest length of skull (including +incisors), 13.8 (13.3-14.1), 13.6 (13.2-14.1), 12.9 (12.6-13.1); +zygomatic breadth, 8.1 (7.9-8.4), 8.1 (7.9-8.3), 8.0 (only one can be +measured); width of rostrum above canines, 3.2 (3.1-3.3), 3.2 (3.0-3.4), +3.1 (3.0-3.2); interorbital constriction, 3.6 (3.5-3.7), 3.6 (3.5-3.8), +3.4 (3.3-3.4); occipital depth (excluding auditory bullae and sagittal +crest), 4.6 (4.4-4.8), 4.6 (4.3-4.9), 4.3 (4.1-4.6); maxillary tooth-row +(C-M3), 5.0 (4.8-5.1), 5.0 (4.8-5.2), 4.7 (4.6-4.8); maxillary breadth +at M3, 5.2 (5.1-5.4), 5.3 (5.1-5.5), 5.1 (4.8-5.2). + +[Illustration: FIG. 1. Left side of skull, incisors, canine, and +premolars × 11, and occlusal surface of left first upper molar × 20. A. +_Myotis nigricans dalquesti_, holotype. B. _Myotis nigricans extremus_ +No. 77674 USNM, topotype.] + +_Remarks._--The subspecific name _dalquesti_ is given in recognition of +Prof. Walter W. Dalquest who gathered the largest and most varied +collection of mammals ever taken in the state of Veracruz. + +Inspection of the measurements given above will reveal that there is no +overlap between _extremus_ and _dalquesti_ in the interorbital +constriction or occipital depth and only slight overlap in the length of +the maxillary tooth-row and maxillary breadth. + +In 10 adult females from Ocosingo, Chiapas, there is suggestion of +intergradation between _dalquesti_ and _extremus_ in that one specimen +(66515 KU) has the cranial characters of _extremus_ except that it is +large like _dalquesti_; in two other skulls P3 is slightly displaced +lingually and two other skulls bear a slight sagittal crest. These are +features characterizing _extremus_. Otherwise the specimens resemble +_dalquesti_, to which subspecies they are here referred. + +Three males from a place 8 km. W and 10 km. N El Encino, 400 ft., +Tamaulipas, are the northernmost representatives of the species and +differ from the other specimens of _dalquesti_ in shorter forearm, +shorter maxillary tooth-row and lesser maxillary breadth. + + Study in the laboratory was supported by Grant No. 56 G 103 from the + National Science Foundation. Field work was supported by a grant + from the Kansas University Endowment Association. We thank Dr. David + H. Johnson for lending eight topotypes of _M. n. extremus_. Other + specimens of _extremus_ available to us are as follows: 1 mi. E + Teapa, Tabasco, 1 (7535 LSU--courtesy of Dr. George H. Lowery, Jr.); + Cayo Dist. Augustine, British Honduras, 1 (9670 KU, in red phase); + 12 km. NNW Chinajá, Guatemala, 4. + + _Specimens examined._--Total, 142, as follows: Tamaulipas: 8 km. W, + 10 km. N El Encino, 400 ft., 5.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone.

RAYMOND HALL AND TICUL ALVAREZ</small></h2> + +<p>In 1928 when Miller and Allen (Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., 144) +published their revisionary account of American bats of the genus +<i>Myotis</i>, the black myotis, <i>Myotis nigricans</i>, was known no farther +north than Chiapas and Campeche. Collections of mammals made +in recent years for the Museum of Natural History of The University +of Kansas include specimens of <i>M. nigricans</i> from eastern +Mexico as far north as Tamaulipas. Critical study of this newly +acquired material reveals that it pertains to an hitherto unnamed +subspecies that may be named and described as follows:</p> + +<h3><b>Myotis nigricans dalquesti</b> new subspecies</h3> + +<p><i>Type.</i>—Male, adult, skin and skull, No. 23839 Museum of Natural History, +University of Kansas; from 3 km. E of San Andrés Tuxtla, 1000 ft., Veracruz; +obtained on January 5, 1948, by Walter W. Dalquest, original No. 8444.</p> + +<p><i>Range.</i>—Tropical Life-zone of eastern México from southern Tamaulipas +to central Chiapas.</p> + +<p><i>Diagnosis.</i>—Color black or dark brown, venter having brownish wash; size +large (see measurements); M1 and M2 quadrangular; prominent protostyle +on P4; P2 and P3 in straight line; sagittal crest absent.</p> + +<p><i>Comparison.</i>—Color almost as in <i>Myotis nigricans extremus</i>, the subspecies +occurring adjacent to <i>dalquesti</i> in Chiapas and Tabasco. From <i>M. n. extremus</i>, +<i>dalquesti</i> differs as follows: larger; hypocone in M1 and M2 broader +making posterointernal part less rounded; protostyle of P4 prominent instead +of absent; P3 in line with C and P2 instead of displaced lingually; sagittal +crest absent instead of present posteriorly. <i>Myotis nigricans nigricans</i> and +<i>M. n. dalquesti</i> are of approximately equal size; otherwise they differ in the +same features as do <i>extremus</i> and <i>dalquesti</i>.</p> + +<p><i>Measurements.</i>—Average and extreme measurements of seven males from +the type locality, followed by those of 19 females from 38 km. SE Jesús +Carranza, and finally length of forearm and cranial measurements of eight +female topotypes of <i>M. n. extremus</i>, are as follows: Total length, 80 (77-82), +76 (72-80); length of tail, 32.8 (30-35), 33.5 (31-35); hind foot, 7.9 (7-8), +8.0 (8-8); forearm, 34.2 (33.6-35.3), 35.1 (33.1-36.4), 33.1 (31.8-34.3); +greatest length of skull (including incisors), 13.8 (13.3-14.1), 13.6 (13.2-14.1), +12.9 (12.6-13.1); zygomatic breadth, 8.1 (7.9-8.4), 8.1 (7.9-8.3), 8.0 (only +one can be measured); width of rostrum above canines, 3.2 (3.1-3.3), 3.2 +(3.0-3.4), 3.1 (3.0-3.2); interorbital constriction, 3.6 (3.5-3.7), 3.6 (3.5-3.8), +3.4 (3.3-3.4); occipital depth (excluding auditory bullae and sagittal crest), +4.6 (4.4-4.8), 4.6 (4.3-4.9), 4.3 (4.1-4.6); maxillary tooth-row (C-M3), +5.0 (4.8-5.1), 5.0 (4.8-5.2), 4.7 (4.6-4.8); maxillary breadth at M3, 5.2 +(5.1-5.4), 5.3 (5.1-5.5), 5.1 (4.8-5.2).<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_72" id="Page_72">[72]</a></span></p> + +<div class="figcenter"> +<img src="images/002.png" width="600" height="260" alt="" title="" /> +<span class="smcap">Fig.</span> 1.

B. <i>Myotis nigricans extremus</i> No. 77674 USNM, topotype.</div> + +<p><i>Remarks.</i>—The subspecific name <i>dalquesti</i> is given in recognition +of Prof. Walter W. Dalquest who gathered the largest and most +varied collection of mammals ever taken in the state of Veracruz.</p> + +<p>Inspection of the measurements given above will reveal that +there is no overlap between <i>extremus</i> and <i>dalquesti</i> in the interorbital +constriction or occipital depth and only slight overlap in the +length of the maxillary tooth-row and maxillary breadth.</p> + +<p>In 10 adult females from Ocosingo, Chiapas, there is suggestion +of intergradation between <i>dalquesti</i> and <i>extremus</i> in that one specimen +(66515 KU) has the cranial characters of <i>extremus</i> except that +it is large like <i>dalquesti</i>; in two other skulls P3 is slightly displaced +lingually and two other skulls bear a slight sagittal crest. These +are features characterizing <i>extremus</i>. Otherwise the specimens +resemble <i>dalquesti</i>, to which subspecies they are here referred.</p> + +<p>Three males from a place 8 km. W and 10 km. N El Encino, +400 ft., Tamaulipas, are the northernmost representatives of the +species and differ from the other specimens of <i>dalquesti</i> in shorter +forearm, shorter maxillary tooth-row and lesser maxillary breadth.</p> + +<div class="blockquot"><p>Study in the laboratory was supported by Grant No. 56 G 103 from the +National Science Foundation.

RAYMOND HALL AND TICUL ALVAREZ + + +In 1928 when Miller and Allen (Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., 144) published +their revisionary account of American bats of the genus _Myotis_, the +black myotis, _Myotis nigricans_, was known no farther north than +Chiapas and Campeche. Collections of mammals made in recent years for +the Museum of Natural History of The University of Kansas include +specimens of _M. nigricans_ from eastern Mexico as far north as +Tamaulipas. Critical study of this newly acquired material reveals that +it pertains to an hitherto unnamed subspecies that may be named and +described as follows: + + +MYOTIS NIGRICANS DALQUESTI new subspecies + +_Type._--Male, adult, skin and skull, No. 23839 Museum of Natural +History, University of Kansas; from 3 km. E of San Andres Tuxtla, 1000 +ft., Veracruz; obtained on January 5, 1948, by Walter W. Dalquest, +original No. 8444. + +_Range._--Tropical Life-zone of eastern Mexico from southern Tamaulipas +to central Chiapas. + +_Diagnosis._--Color black or dark brown, venter having brownish wash; +size large (see measurements); M1 and M2 quadrangular; prominent +protostyle on P4; P2 and P3 in straight line; sagittal crest absent. + +_Comparison._--Color almost as in _Myotis nigricans extremus_, the +subspecies occurring adjacent to _dalquesti_ in Chiapas and Tabasco. +From _M. n. extremus_, _dalquesti_ differs as follows: larger; hypocone +in M1 and M2 broader making posterointernal part less rounded; +protostyle of P4 prominent instead of absent; P3 in line with C and P2 +instead of displaced lingually; sagittal crest absent instead of present +posteriorly. _Myotis nigricans nigricans_ and _M. n. dalquesti_ are of +approximately equal size; otherwise they differ in the same features as +do _extremus_ and _dalquesti_. + +_Measurements._--Average and extreme measurements of seven males from +the type locality, followed by those of 19 females from 38 km. SE Jesus +Carranza, and finally length of forearm and cranial measurements of +eight female topotypes of _M. n. extremus_, are as follows: Total +length, 80 (77-82), 76 (72-80); length of tail, 32.8 (30-35), 33.5 +(31-35); hind foot, 7.9 (7-8), 8.0 (8-8); forearm, 34.2 (33.6-35.3), +35.1 (33.1-36.4), 33.1 (31.8-34.3); greatest length of skull (including +incisors), 13.8 (13.3-14.1), 13.6 (13.2-14.1), 12.9 (12.6-13.1); +zygomatic breadth, 8.1 (7.9-8.4), 8.1 (7.9-8.3), 8.0 (only one can be +measured); width of rostrum above canines, 3.2 (3.1-3.3), 3.2 (3.0-3.4), +3.1 (3.0-3.2); interorbital constriction, 3.6 (3.5-3.7), 3.6 (3.5-3.8), +3.4 (3.3-3.4); occipital depth (excluding auditory bullae and sagittal +crest), 4.6 (4.4-4.8), 4.6 (4.3-4.9), 4.3 (4.1-4.6); maxillary tooth-row +(C-M3), 5.0 (4.8-5.1), 5.0 (4.8-5.2), 4.7 (4.6-4.8); maxillary breadth +at M3, 5.2 (5.1-5.4), 5.3 (5.1-5.5), 5.1 (4.8-5.2). + +[Illustration: FIG. 1. Left side of skull, incisors, canine, and +premolars x 11, and occlusal surface of left first upper molar x 20. A. +_Myotis nigricans dalquesti_, holotype. B. _Myotis nigricans extremus_ +No. 77674 USNM, topotype.] + +_Remarks._--The subspecific name _dalquesti_ is given in recognition of +Prof. Walter W. Dalquest who gathered the largest and most varied +collection of mammals ever taken in the state of Veracruz. + +Inspection of the measurements given above will reveal that there is no +overlap between _extremus_ and _dalquesti_ in the interorbital +constriction or occipital depth and only slight overlap in the length of +the maxillary tooth-row and maxillary breadth. + +In 10 adult females from Ocosingo, Chiapas, there is suggestion of +intergradation between _dalquesti_ and _extremus_ in that one specimen +(66515 KU) has the cranial characters of _extremus_ except that it is +large like _dalquesti_; in two other skulls P3 is slightly displaced +lingually and two other skulls bear a slight sagittal crest. These are +features characterizing _extremus_. Otherwise the specimens resemble +_dalquesti_, to which subspecies they are here referred. + +Three males from a place 8 km. W and 10 km. N El Encino, 400 ft., +Tamaulipas, are the northernmost representatives of the species and +differ from the other specimens of _dalquesti_ in shorter forearm, +shorter maxillary tooth-row and lesser maxillary breadth. + + Study in the laboratory was supported by Grant No. 56 G 103 from the + National Science Foundation. Field work was supported by a grant + from the Kansas University Endowment Association. We thank Dr. David + H. Johnson for lending eight topotypes of _M. n. extremus_. Other + specimens of _extremus_ available to us are as follows: 1 mi. E + Teapa, Tabasco, 1 (7535 LSU--courtesy of Dr. George H. Lowery, Jr.); + Cayo Dist. Augustine, British Honduras, 1 (9670 KU, in red phase); + 12 km. NNW Chinaja, Guatemala, 4. + + _Specimens examined._--Total, 142, as follows: Tamaulipas: 8 km. W, + 10 km. N El Encino, 400 ft., 5.
