VAN VALEN'S (1966) anatomical nomenclature was used for the dental particulars. Principal component solution of factor analysis was carried out using programme BMDP4M (DIXON & BROWN, 1981). RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS In the principal components analysis of the 37-character correlation matrix, a to­tal of 46.1 % of the sample variation was accounted for by the first two principal compo­nents. These two components describe major differences among the groups (Fig. 1). The first principal component separated the M, exilis - janossy sp. n. complex and M. helleri . As can be seen in the figure, members of this complex cannot be separated based on the characters used in the analysis. The second principal component separated specimens of exilis - janossy sp. n. and helleri from paradaubentoni sp. n. Major character loadings on the first principal component were P^M^ length (0. 857), M 1-M 3 length (0. 854), M 3 width (0.852), width of M 2 between lingualmost and metastylar margins (0.850), rostral width at M 3-M 3 (alveoli) (0.846), rostral width at M 3-M 3 (crowns) (0.842), C-M 3 length (crowns) (0.819), width of M between lingualmost and parastylar margins (0.813), width of M* between lingualmost and parastylar margins (0.804). High loadings on the second princi­pal component were for C alveolus width (0. 639), strength of M 2 paraconule (0. 532), strength of M* paraconule (0.515), strength of M 3 paraconule (0.478), rostral width at C-C (alveoli) (0. 500), width of narial notch (0. 482), length of anterior palatal emargina­tion (0.459), combined alveolar length of P 2 P 3 (-0.621), C-P 4 length (crowns) (-0.582). The mandibles of M. estramosensis sp. n. and of M. cf. blythi were treated sepa­rately. The new species is comparable only with M. mystacinus and the Asiatic siligoren­sis and caliginosus . The M. cf. blythi is a closely related fore-runner of M. blythi . Rostrum and upper dentition of M. helleri Kowalski HELLER (1936) in his original description did not mention any details of the skull or the upper dentition of this species. At Osztramos Localities 9 and 13 this species comprises the so called small-sized species group of Myotis . As a previous computer analysis has shown (TOPAL in press), it is rather separated from all other fossil bats found at both Osztramos and Podlesice, and from all recent animals, according to the Czeka­nowski's similarity measure. Though, because of its smaller size, it seemed to be relat­ed to other small Myotis . Actually, it could be compared to M. danutae Kowalski, 1956 from Podlesice, and the latter itself is somehow related to _M. emarginatus (GEOFFROY, 1806). Its full skull is not known, but there is a rather well preserved rostrum among other cranial fragments and mandibles. The rostrum is a very gracile, elongated struc-
