Description

Pipistrellus stenopterus (Dobson, 1875)

Narrow-winged pipistrelle

New records

Lampung Province: Sumberjaya Village, Sumber Rejo Village.

New material

Four individuals were collected as voucher specimens. Lampung Province: Sumber Rejo Village, 1♂ (MZB 35807); Sumberjaya Village, 1♂, 2♀♀ (MZB 34962, 34963, 34975).

Previous records from Sumatra

Lampung Province: Krui (Sibuea and Herdimansyah, 1993); North Sumatra Province: Bada village (van Strien, 1996).

Remarks

This is a large Pipistrellus species (Table 2). Three individuals were caught at c. 950 m a.s.l. with a mist net set between two artificial ponds surrounded by coffee bushes. Another individual was caught with a harp trap in a coffee-rubber mixed plantation at an elevation of ca. 50 m a.s.l. In our samples, the species seems to exhibit sexual dimorphism in color and size. The females had reddishbrown fur and a shorter tibia (15.6 and 16.2 mm), whereas the males were grayish brown and had a slightly longer tibia (16.6 and 17.8 mm).
