_Eumops underwoodi_ Goodwin, Amer. Mus. Novitates, 1075:2,
June 27, 1940, type from El Pedrero, 6 km. N Chinaela,
approximately 3,000 ft. elevation, Dept. La Paz, Honduras.
_Range._--Known only from TancA-taro Mtn.
_Specimen examined_, 1: no. 89461, Univ. Michigan Mus. ZoAśl., from
Rancho Escondido, 2 mi. N Apo, TancA-taro Mtn., [F] ad. with much worn
teeth, taken June 11, 1945, by W. H. Burt.
_Remarks._--Selected measurements of this specimen are: Total length,
158; ear from notch, 32; mastoid breadth, 16.1; width across crowns
of M3, 12.6; maxillary tooth-row (from anterior face of canine above
cingulum to posterior face of M3), 11.8. The total length is less than
in _E. underwoodi_ or than in _Eumops sonoriensis_ Benson (1947:133);
the other measurements given above exceed those of _E. sonoriensis_
and equal or approach those of _E. underwoodi_. The ears seem not to
be connected across the forehead; the color is near (_l_) Bister above
and slightly lighter on the underparts.
The specimen is clearly intermediate in size, as it also is
geographically, between _Eumops underwoodi underwoodi_ Goodwin and
_Eumops underwoodi sonoriensis_ Benson and gives basis for arranging
these two named kinds as subspecies of a single species as Benson
(1947:134) suggested might prove to be necessary. We are not certain
whether this specimen should be referred to the subspecies
_underwoodi_ or _sonoriensis_ and probably this uncertainty will
remain until the range of individual variation in _underwoodi_ is
known.
