Murina rozendaali Hill and Francis 1984

Gilded Tube-nosed Bat (Kelawar Hidung Bulu Merah)

Specimens examined (2).—Krau: TTU 108216; Monggis: TTU 108241 (GenBank EU521627 ).

Type locality.— Malaysia (Borneo), Sabah, Gomantong .

Malaysian distribution.—Recorded from Peninsular Malaysia (Pasoh, Negeri Sembilan; Krau, Pahang) and Borneo (Sabah: Gomantong Cave, Poring, and Tepadong; Sarawak: Bukit Kana, Kubah NP, and Mt. Murud ).

Remarks.— Murina rozendaali , caught using harp traps, is difficult to distinguish from M. aenea and M. suilla (Francis 1997) . Our specimens have upperparts with dark bases and golden tips whereas underparts are white to the bases with a buffy tinge. We conclude that our specimen represents M. rozendaali as it was collected in similar habitat (disturbed lowlands over a small stream) and falls within described external measurements ( Payne et al. 1985).
