Cynopterus brachyotis Müller 1838

Lesser Short-nosed Fruit Bat (Cecadu Pisang)

Specimens examined (18).— Monggis: TTU 108245 (GenBank EU521598 ), TTU 108246, TK 152094, TTU 108247, TTU 108248, TTU 108257, TTU 108258, TTU 108259; Bako NP: TTU 108280; Kubah NP: TTU 108320, TTU 108323, TTU 108324, TTU 108330, TTU 108338; Mt. Penrisen:TTU 108411, TTU 108401, TTU 108402, TTU 108382 .

Type locality.— Dewei River in Borneo, also known as Tewei River in Naga Cave .

Malaysian distribution.—Recorded from Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo from sea level to 1600 m.

Remarks.— Cynopterus brachyotis was netted mainly in primary forest, secondary forest, and agricultural areas. We identified two forms (large FA: 60-68 mm; small FA: 54-59 mm) of C. brachyotis (reported in Abdullah 2003; Campbell et al. 2004), but these size groups were not congruent with mitochondrial DNA data. The level of cyt- b genetic distances within Peninsular Malaysia (10.3%) and Borneo (9.5%) suggested two independent lineages; however, both genetic lineages include individuals that overlap in forearm sizes.
