Description

Pteropus? giganteus Brunnich, 1782

Indian flying-fox

New record

Sagaing Division: Shew Say Thi monastery.

Previous records from Myanmar

Mandalay Division (Bates et al., 2000); Rakhine State: Naung Hla Village (HZM collection); Bago Division (Bates et al., 2000). In reality, this species is much more widespread than the paucity of specimen data implies.

Comments

The colony from Shew Say Thi monastery was provisionally identified as P. giganteus based on size and colouration.
