DIAGNOSIS. Within the subgenus Chilonycteris, Pteronotus macleayii (Fig. 1) can be distinguished from P. personatus by length of rostrum equal to or greater than one-half total length of skull and nostrils with lateral spike. From P. quadridens, P. macleayii can be distinguished by narial pad with V-shaped notch between nostrils. Calcar length ca. 1.5 times length of hind foot and clitoris is elongated in P. macleayii; in P. quadridens, length of calcar and hind foot are similar, and clitoris is moderate in size (Silva Taboada 1979; Simmons and Conway 2001). In P. macleayii, length of forearm ranges from 39.9 to 45.1 mm, whereas length of forearm in P. quadridens is ,41 mm (Silva Taboada 1979; Smith 1972).
