General coloui much browner and less rufous that P.p.
melauotus (type locality here designated as Selangor), the
hairs on the middle of the sides with buff tips giving the effect
of a pale elliptical patch. Limbs chestnut brown, becoming
black on the metapodials and digits. Head varying from
greyish buff to cinnamon buff. Parachute like the back or
the limbs; uropatagium edged with black, edges of parachute
buffy grey ; tail like the back, extensively blackened distally
but the dark colour not sharply margined, bases of the hairs
throughout black, the base of the tail also washed with black.
Muzzle, chin and eve ring black, ears with proectote ochraceous,
metectote extensively black. Undersurface, pale salmon
orange, foreneck whitish, inner sides of limbs blackish brown.
