Description
Figure 6. Dorsal and ventral photographs of the holotype of Nyctimene wrightae sp. nov. compared with N. a. papuanus. (a, b) Holotype of N. wrightae sp. nov. AM M.16423, photographs courtesy of Harry Parnaby (AM). (c) N. a. papuanus, NHMUK 1901.11.5.3; (d) N. wrightae sp. nov. NHMUK 1969.1417. Typically the fur is short and brown, but varies (see Fig. 7). Nyctimene a. papuanus and N. wrightae sp. nov. have a clearly demarcated dorsal stripe unlike N. certans and N. cyclotis (see Fig. 5). Nyctimene wrightae sp. nov. and N. a. papuanus have relatively long and distally tapered ears but those of N. wrightae sp. nov. tend to be thickened on the leading edge; externally N. wrightae sp. nov. and N. a. papuanus can appear very similar as exemplified by (c) and (d).
