Myotis oxygnathus MONTICELLI. I caught a fefat supposed to be a Myotis myotis BORKH. on the 5 TH of june, 1924 at Budafok near Budapest which by determination proved to be a Myotis oxyynathus MONTICELLI. The total number of bat species known in Hungary rose to 23 by that. The M. oxyynathus has been dcscribed in 1885 by MONTICELLI, who ends his description by remarking, that it is not excluded, that the new species will prove to be a single variety of M. myotis. by closer investigation. l ) MEIIELY classifies the M. oxygnathus in 1900 as a synonymc of tiie M. myotis}) MILLER, resumes the study of the species in 1909 and describes it as a good species after having completed ils speeific characters as established by MONTICELLT. 3 ) He examined 75 specimens of M. oxygnathus, also the type itself and states that „aside from its smaller size and shorter, narrower ears this species does not differ appreciably from M. myosotis. though the general color is often darker than usual in the larger aniinal". According to my own investigations the more pointed nose is more characteristic for the aniinal, tban the shorter and narrower ears. ') MONTICB-LLI FR.
