The lancet had a well defined tip. In side view, the superior connecting process of the sella is bluntly rounded off and the base of the sella characteristically projects slightly forward and downwards while the base does not project downward in in allied congener R. rouxii (Thomas, 2000) . The mental grooves are three in numbers. The third metacarpal is shortest and the fourth and the fifth are sub equal. Since the skull was partially damaged, completed set of craniodental measurements could not be acquired. However, based on the obtainable mensural data (Table 1) which corresponds well with published data and characteristics shape of the lancet (Thomas, 2000; Csorba et al., 2003), our specimen was assigned to R. sinicus . This species was earlier recognized as a subspecies of R. rouxii i.e. R. r. sinicus . However, based on differences in a number of external, internal and molecular characters, it was elevated to full species rank (Thomas, 2000). Two subspecies are currently recognized of which R. s. sinicus has been reported from Himalayas and South East Asia (Csorba et al., 2003).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/ED1A65354541FFC9FF56FB95084CFE12	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

However, the dried fur appears to have a drab chestnut brown hue dorsally and a little paler venter. The upper surface of the interfemoral membrane is covered with hairs. The horseshoe had a breadth of 12mm and had one mental groove, a characteristic for the pearsonii group. R. yunanensis and R. pearsonii are very similar morphologically but cranial dimensions are larger in the former (Csorba et al., 2003). Although our specimen has slightly smaller forearm length (54mm) than the average for R. yunanensis (56.6mm) (Bates and Harrison, 1997), the cranial dimensions (Table 1) are well beyond R. pearsonii and in conformity with that of R. yunanensis specimens from the Indian Subcontinent (Bates &amp; Harrison, 1997).</p><p>The baculum of the Manipur specimen is 2.94m in length while its width at the base is 1.03mm. It is similar to that of R. pearsonii in dorsal and ventral profile (vide Topal, 1975) and specialized. However, there are marked differences between the two when viewed laterally (Plate 2). The basal cone is large with a protruding basal knob however it is not as strongly projecting and as high as in pearsonii . The shaft is dorsoventrally flattened and blade like.</p><p>Wu et al. (2009) revisited specimens of R. yunanensis and R. pearsonii from Thailand and China. While maintaining the species identity of R. pearsonii and yunanensis, they described a new species R. thailandensis within this group from Thailand and maintained that R. yunanensis is distributed in the Sichuan and Yunan provinces of China. However, they did not include specimens from India and Myanmar from where this species is reported. Pending further investigations, following Csorba et al. (2003) we provisionally retain this species from northeastern India.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/ED1A65354541FFCAFCABFE0F08A4FF29	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
