Abstract

The osteology of the atlas of phyllostomatid bats is considered. The presence of two prominent ventral spines, a midventral tubercle and accessory processes on the transverse processes are noted. Functional consideration of the atlas is presented by a study of the myology of the upper cervical region of Artibeus lituratus. Consideration is given to possible phylogenetic implications.

Phyllostomatidae科 박쥐의 第 1頸椎骨에 關한 骨學的 考察을 하였다. 2個의 顯著한 腹棘狀突起, 1個의 中央腹板隆起 및 橫突起狀의 附屬突起의 存在에 關하여 記述하였다. Artibeus lituratus 박쥐에 對한 第 1頸椎骨과 連關된 上頸部 筋內과의 機能에 關하여 論하였고 系統遺傳學的 의의에 관한 여러면을 考察하였다.
