Kerivoula intermedia Hill and Fancis, 1984: 323; Lumerau, Sabah, Borneo, MALAYSIA 5˚ 12’N, 118˚52’E (Charles M. Francis, collector; BM(NH) 1983.356) [173].

Common English name: Small Woolly Bat

Barcode Index Number: BOLD: AAD 4883 (5 DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia; Fig 6)

Remarks: DNA barcodes recorded as K. intermedia are associated with two BINs, BOLD: AAD4883, and BOLD:AAM3704. The BIN, BOLD:AAD4883 contains DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia and Sarawak, Borneo while BIN, BOLD:AAM3074 contains only a single DNA barcode (BM012-03) from Sabah, Borneo (Fig 6). Whether the DNA barcode, BM012- 03 represents a cryptic species, a case of mis-identification, or a case of high intraspecific variation remains to be determined.
