Description

The five Chinese mainland specimens show the distinguishing dental characters of Harpiola as defined above (Fig. 1 View Figure 1 A2, A3 and A4).

Body

A medium-sized bat with the forearm length ranging from 32.33-36.12 mm (Table 1 View Table 1 ). The wing membrane is attached to the base of the first toe and the interfemoral membrane is attached to the end of the tibia (Fig. 2 View Figure 2 A and C). The nostril is slightly tubular, but not very prominent (Fig. 2 View Figure 2 A and C). The ear is small, with the tip slightly blunt and rounded and the tragus is slender and slightly curved, with its length over half that of the ear. The thumb, equipped with a curved, sharp claw, has a length nearly 20% of the forearm length (Fig. 2 View Figure 2 B and C; Table 1 View Table 1 ). The third, fourth and fifth metacarpals have about the same length (Table 1 View Table 1 ). The foot length is about 80% of the tibia length (Table 1 View Table 1 ). The tail, which is about 70% of the head and body length (Table 1 View Table 1 ), has its very end excluded from the interfemoral membrane (Fig. 2 View Figure 2 A).

Fur

The face is brownish-black at the snout, becoming paler at the cheeks and around the eyes. The forehead is brown and the chin is brownish-black. Ears are naked, dark brown. The fur is soft and dense, with individual hairs on both dorsal and ventral sides yellowish-brown at their upper parts and dark brown at the bases (a little grey). Both dorsal and ventral furs have golden-tipped hairs (Fig. 2 View Figure 2 ) and there are more such hairs on the back than on the abdomen. On the dorsum, the golden-tipped hairs extend from the top of the head to the back of the interfemoral membrane, where they become sparser. There are yellowish-brown hairs covering the back of the forearm, the back of the thumb and the back of the toes. The golden-tipped hairs on the ventrum are mainly concentrated on the chest. The anal area is brownish-grey. The dorsal and ventral surfaces of the interfemoral membrane are both coated, with thicker, dark brown hairs on the dorsal surface and sparser, light brownish-grey hairs (slightly yellow) on the ventral surface. The foot soles are naked, lacking any sole pad (Fig. 2 View Figure 2 C). The wing membrane is brownish-black in colour and the area near the side of the body is sparsely coated, otherwise is bare (Fig. 2 View Figure 2 ).

Skull

In lateral view, the skull shows a gradually rising curve from the front of the rostrum to the back of the frontal area, with the centre of the forehead slightly depressed. The braincase is rounded, the sagittal crest is absent and the lambdoid crest is moderately developed (Fig. 1 View Figure 1 A2). The zygomatic arches are weak and slender, showing the most outward expanded points at their posterior ends. The tympanic bullae are relatively small and the foramen magnum is relatively large (Fig. 1 View Figure 1 , A1).

Dentition

Dental formula: I C PM M = 34. Upper incisors are large, their heights are more than two-thirds that of C1 and the outer incisor (I3) is slightly lower than the inner incisor (I2) (Fig. 1 View Figure 1 , A2). C1, PM2 and PM4 are gradually decreasing in height and their base sizes are similar. Amongst the three upper molars, the last one (M3) has a crown area only half that of each anterior one (Fig. 1 View Figure 1 , A1). The lower toothrows contain three lower incisors on each side, with their heights gradually increasing from the inner (I1) to the outer one (I3). Each lower incisor has three cusps, with a marked depression between the outermost cusp and the middle cusp. The lower canine (C1), with two blunt cusps, is about the same height as the anterior and posterior lower premolars (PM2 and PM4, respectively) (Fig. 1 View Figure 1 , A4). The crown areas of M1 and M2 are slightly larger than M3; the postcristids are well developed and the hypoconids are more prominent than the hypoconulids (Fig. 1 View Figure 1 , A6).
