Description
Glischropus tylopus [Dobson, 1875]
Vesperugo tylopus Dobson, 1875: 473; Sabah, north Borneo, MALAYSIA (Collector unknown; BM(NH) 70.2.10.2) [199].
Glischropus tylopus [191].
Common English name: Thick-thumbed Pipistrelle
Barcode Index Number: Two DNA barcodes (RONP 009-14 and RONP 024-14) which are from Perak, Peninsular Malaysia are not assigned with any BIN due to their short sequence length (< 500bp). However, other DNA barcodes recorded as G. tylopus which were collected in Vietnam and Laos are associated with the BIN, BOLD: AAC 0085.
Remarks: All DNA barcodes (BIN, BOLD:AAC0085) recorded as G. tylopus from Vietnam and Laos (= Indochina) represent G. bucephalus which was recently described on the basis of longer forearms and distinctive cranial features [200]. Another species from Sumatra, Indonesia, G. aquilus is distinct from G. tylopus collected in Peninsular Malaysia on the basis of its darker colour and 12.4% divergence in cytochrome b mtDNA [201]. It is likely that the form occurring in Peninsular Malaysia represents G. tylopus sensu stricto based on the comparison of specimens from Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah = type locality (see Fig 6 in [201]). We did not perform any NJ analysis for G. tylopus as the DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia are too short for comparison with other barcodes.
IUCN status: Least Concern
Recorded at: Pahang: Krau Wildlife Reserve [11], Tasik Chini [43], Tasik Bera Forest Reserve [56]; Selangor: Bukit Lanjan [40], Bukit Kutu Wildlife Reserve [51], Ulu Gombak [53, 54], Semangkok Forest Reserve [101]; Kedah: Ulu Muda Forest Reserve [57]; Kelantan: Air Panas-Gua Musang [61], Gua Musang [62]; Perak: Temengor Forest Reserve [111].
G. tylopus is a lowland forest inhabitant but has been recorded in hill forest [11, 14, 23]. Individuals have been found roosting in small groups in internodes of dead and broken bamboo, and sometimes in rock crevices and banana leaves, occasionally with Tylonycteris species [11, 14].
