External characters (Table 85)
This description is based on Blanford, 1888-91. "Ears oval, tips rounded, but appearing pointed when viewed from the side, owing to the conch being longitudinally folded, like Kerivoula ; the inner margin convex, outer slightly hollowed beneath the tip, with an angular emargination opposite the base of the tragus and terminating in a rounded lobe, the summit of which is marked by a small triangular notch. Tragus with a small rounded lobe at the outer side of its base, expanded above, convex externally and above, inner margin slightly concave. Wings from the base of the toes; last rudimentary caudal vertebra free. Fur long and dense, black throughout".
