We could not find recent locality reports for K. picta in Peninsular Malaysia although the species is thought to occur in Peninsular Malaysia [1, 6, 9, 10, 14, 23]. This species has been recorded from Thailand [74] and may be restricted to northern Peninsular Malaysia. K. picta has been reported roosting among dead leaves of trees and bananas [14].
