CYNOPTERUS MONTANOI Robin.
Reading edition
1894. Cynopterus marginatus Thomas and Hartert, Novitates Zoologicæ, I, p. 655. September, 1894 (Sirhassen and Bunguran).
1899. Cynopterus montanoi Matschie, Die Fledermäuse des Berliner Museums für Naturkunde, p. 75. August, 1899. (Natuna record of C. marginatus placed in synonymy of C. montanoi.)
Five specimens (three skins) from Sirhassen. These agree so closely with a skin and two bleached alcoholic specimens from Singapore, which I suppose to be the same as the Malaccan Cynopterus montanoi, that without more material it is impossible to distinguish the Natuna animal from that of the southern extremity of the Malay Peninsula. Cynopterus montanoi as thus understood differs from C. angulatus Miller[30] of Lower Siam in its more slender skull and in the absence of the white border of the ear, and from C. titthæcheilus (Temminck) of Sumatra and Java in its conspicuously smaller size.
