Description

Rousettus leschenaultii (Desmarest, 1820)

Leschenault’s rousette

New records

Lampung Province: Lombok Village, Sukabanjar Village, Sumber Rejo Village, Way Canguk Forest.

New material

Two individuals were collected as voucher specimens. Lampung Province: Lombok Village, 1♀ (MZB 35047); Lampung Province: Sukabanjar Village, 1♂ (MZB 35046).

Previous records from Sumatra

Lampung Province: Kalianda (Rookmaaker and Bergmans, 1981; van Strien, 1996).

Remarks

All R. leschenaultii were caught with mist nets set at 603–702 m a.s.l. in coffee plantations, and in Way Canguk Forest. This medium-large pteropodid bat species can be distinguished from R. amplexicaudatus by the more elliptic crowns of the last lower cheek teeth.
