Description

Murina peninsularis Hill, 1964

Murina cyclotis peninsularis Hill, 1964: 55; Ulu Chemperoh, near Janda Baik, Bentong District, Pahang, MALAYSIA (Collector unknown; BM(NH) 1964.771) [194].

Murina peninsularis [34].

Common English name: Peninsular Tube-nosed Bat

Barcode Index Number: BOLD: AAA 6349 (2 DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia; Fig 6)

Remarks: Three subspecies were previously described under M. cyclotis based on their geographical distributions: M. c. cyclotis from northeast India to Vietnam, the slightly darker and duller M. c. eileenae from Sri Lanka, and M. c. peninsularis from Peninsular Thailand to Malaysia and Indonesia [9, 34]. However, the consistent medium-large body size and genetic distance in COI mtDNA support the recognition of the Sundaic M. c. peninsularis as a distinct species [4, 33, 34]. Therefore, all records of M. cyclotis from Peninsular Malaysia should be updated to M. peninsularis [34].

IUCN status: Not Evaluated but Least Concern as M. cyclotis.

Recorded at: Perlis: Wang Kelian State Park [51]; Kelantan: Loging Highlands [64];

Pahang: Ulu Chemperoh, near Janda Baik [194].

Recorded as M. cyclotis at: Pahang: Krau Wildlife Reserve [11, 42], Kuala Atok-National Park [44], Cameron Highland [60], Bukit Ibam, Klau Besar and Kenong [100]; Negeri Sembilan: Pasoh Forest Reserve [45], Gunung Angsi Forest Reserve and Berembun Forest Reserve [101]; Perak: Temengor Forest Reserve [46, 111], Royal Belum State Park [66], Kledang Saiong Forest Reserve [100, 101]; Perlis: Wang Kelian State Park [50]; Selangor: Bukit Kutu Wildlife Reserve [51]; Kelantan: Lojing Highlands [62], Gunung Stong State Park [67]; Johor: Labis Forest Reserve [100].

M. peninsularis has been recoded in wide variety of forest types [14] but its roosting ecology remains unknown [11].
