Myotis muricola (Gray 1846)

Nepalese Whiskered Myotis (Kelawar Daun Pisang)

Specimens examined (5).— Kubah NP: TTU 108310 (GenBank EU521629 ), TTU 108314; Mt. Penrisen: TTU 108369, TTU 108403, TTU 108404.

Type locality.— Nepal .

Malaysian distribution.—Recorded from Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo.

Remarks.—This species was collected over small ponds in Kubah NP and in Mt. Penrisen using mist nets. The upperparts are brown to gray with dark bases and the underparts are broadly buffy white with pale gray tips. The wing membrane is attached to the toe (Hill 1983). In comparison to our specimens, high cyt- b genetic distances, from 6.8% ( AY665144 , locality unknown) to 18.2% ( AJ841957 from Laos) were observed, indicating more than one species may be present under this name (see Hendrichsen et al. 2001; Francis et al. 2008).
