Description

Cynopterus cf. brachyotis FOREST. Cynopterusbrachyotis FOREST [64].

Cynopterus JLE sp. A Francis et al. [4] (and as in BOLD).

Common English name: Forest Short-nosed Fruit Bat

Barcode Index Number: BOLD: AAA 9308 (19 DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia; Fig 2)

IUCN status: As C. brachyotis: Least Concern

Remarks: The FOREST form is smaller than the SUNDA form with an average forearm length of less than 63 mm and is confined to primary and mature secondary forests [11, 14, 64]. See the remarks on C. cf. brachyotis SUNDA.

Recorded at: Confirmed records of “FOREST” (see above): Selangor: Ulu Gombak [5];

Pahang: Krau Wildlife Reserve [64]; Johor: Endau Rompin [64]; Perlis: Perlis State Park and Kuala Perlis [64]; Kelantan: Gua Musang [64], Perak: Taiping [64], Gunung Stong State Park [67]; Melaka: Unspecified [68]; Terengganu: Tasik Kenyir and Temenggor Lake [69].

C. cf. brachyotis FOREST is generally restricted to primary and mature secondary forests [11, 14, 64] and has not been reported from disturbed habitats [65].
