Absolutely correct, Bayucca! Rhynchonycteris naso as kind of "striped" forearms, have a look at some pictures here:

@Afribats: As I remember Rhynchonycteris naso looks very similar, but has somehow "striped" legs. Is that correct or are there any other criteria to separate them? Any interesting links? Thanks!
