7B1787A3A54B8969FE96FD8F9D56D36C.taxon	discussion	Taxonomic notes This is a medium-small hipposiderid bat, with a forearm length in the recent specimen of 47.9 mm (Table 4) (47.2 – 49.8 mm in Francis et al., 1999 b). The pelage is dark brown on both the dorsal and ventral aspects (Fig. 2 a). The ears are large and broad (23 mm long × 20 mm wide). The an- terior noseleaf, which lacks supplementary leaflets, is wide (7.8 mm) and almost com- pletely covers the muzzle. The internarial septum is expanded into a large circular disc (diameter = 2.74 mm). This clearly dif- fers from the ovoid shape of its sibling spe- cies, H. orbiculus, which is also known from peninsular Malaysia (Francis et al., 1999 b). The narial lappets are well devel- oped and form a pocket encircling the nos- trils. The skull is elongated, with slightly elevated narial swellings. The first upper premolar (P 2) is small and situated within the toothrow.	en	Bumrungsri, Sara, Harrison, David L., Satasook, Chutamas, Prajukjitr, Amorn, Thong-Aree, Siriporn, Bates, Paul J. J.

7B1787A3A54B8969FE96FD8F9D56D36C.taxon	distribution	Distribution and Ecological Notes Hipposideros ridleyi is currently known from peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, Bor- neo (Sabah and Sarawak) (Simmons, 2005). This is the first confirmed record from Thailand. The voucher specimen from Thailand was captured together with a pregnant female (forearm length of 50.2 mm) in a harp trap set along a nature trail in Ba- la Forest. The local area includes many streams, which join together and become a small peat swamp (2 ha in size). Much of the ground layer is densely covered with rattans and palms. The general habitat is pristine lowland evergreen forest at the elevation of 100 m a. s. l. and the topography is essentially flat. In peninsular Malaysia, a number of specimens was also collected from peat swamp forest and along trails in lowland dipterocarp forest (Zubaid et al., 1986). This habitat type is currently threat- ened throughout Southeast Asia. In Thai- land, breeding occurs as early as late Febru- ary. Females were lactating between April and May (Kemper, 1988) and July in Bor- neo (Francis et al., 1999 b). Medway (1969) suggested it may roost in caves, although there is no evidence to support this sugges- tion. It was found roosting in road culverts in peninsular Malaysia (Gould, 1978). There are apparently no caves in the vicini- ty of the area of collection in Thailand.	en	Bumrungsri, Sara, Harrison, David L., Satasook, Chutamas, Prajukjitr, Amorn, Thong-Aree, Siriporn, Bates, Paul J.

7B1787A3A54B896BFD62FA599A47D43A.taxon	discussion	Taxonomic Notes The recent specimen from Thailand, with a forearm length of 60.0 mm (Table 4) and a condylo-canine length of 19.1 mm (Table 5), agrees in size and morphology with the holotype of M. hermani from Sumatra (61 mm and 19.5 mm, respective- ly). It is significantly larger than Myotis formosus (FA: 44.5 – 49.1 mm, n = 5 and CCL: 16.3 – 16.6 mm, n = 4; measurements listed in Bates and Harrison, 1997), which is the only other species of Asian Myotis cur- rently included in the subgenus Chryso- pteron (sensu Corbet and Hill, 1992). Size apart, it shares most of the external charac- ters exhibited by M. formosus. It has con- spicuously orange (of various hues) and black parti-coloured wings and interfemoral membrane (Fig. 2 b). The ears are dark or- ange with black edges and have a concavity on the posterior border. The feet are not greatly enlarged. The hair roots are buff coloured and the tips orange, the latter frost- ed with black on both the dorsal and ventral aspects. Black frosting is not present in specimens of M. formosus seen from the Indian Subcontinent (Bates and Harrison, 1997) but the colouration is closely similar to that of an individual identified as M. wa- tasei (= M. formosus sensu Corbet and Hill, 1992; Simmons, 2005), a photograph of which is included in Lin et al. (2004). The skull and dentition are comparable to those of M. formosus (for details see Bates and Harrison, 1997) in all aspects except for their considerably larger size. Findley (1972) included hermani as a synonym of M. formosus, a view subse- quently followed by Koopman (1993). How- ever, Corbet and Hill (1992) argued that the size of M. hermani supports its specific dis- tinction, a view supported by the discovery of this recent specimen in Thailand. As such, M. hermani and M. formosus are here considered to be two distinct species.	en	Bumrungsri, Sara, Harrison, David L., Satasook, Chutamas, Prajukjitr, Amorn, Thong-Aree, Siriporn, Bates, Paul J.

7B1787A3A54B896BFD62FA599A47D43A.taxon	distribution	Distribution and Ecological Notes This is the first record from Thailand and appears to be the first confirmed record of this bat since it was described from a single adult female collected from north-west Sumatra (Thomas, 1923). The recent specimen, a mature fema- le, was captured in a mist net set over a seasonal small stream (5 m wide) in Khuan Kaowang Forest Park. The capture site was on the edge of secondary tropical lowland rain forest (ca. 350 ha at 100 – 200 m a. s. l.), which is characterized by many large standing trees and a dense shrub layer. It appeared that the bat, which was caught at 20: 00 hours at a height of 1.5 m, was travelling from the forest to an area of rubber plantations and dry scrub woodland. Its body was covered with a 3 mm layer of fat. Possibly this was an energy reserve for the breeding period.	en	Bumrungsri, Sara, Harrison, David L., Satasook, Chutamas, Prajukjitr, Amorn, Thong-Aree, Siriporn, Bates, Paul J. J.

7B1787A3A549896AFD5EFDAF9B1ED383.taxon	discussion	Taxonomic Notes This is a large and robust pipistrelle bat. The specimen from Thailand has a forearm length of 38.7 mm (Table 4). Its pelage is dark brown (based on the wet specimen). In the wing, the fifth metacarpal (32.2 mm) is noticeably shorter than the fourth (36.9 mm). The ears are fleshy; each has a clubshaped tragus, which is expanded in the middle. The feet are large, longer than half the tibia length. The skull is robust with a flattened rostrum and a large nasal notch. The zygomata are slender and fragile. A sagittal crest is present and the lambdoid crests are well developed. The anterior palatal emagination extends posteriorly to the level of the front of the second premolar (P 4). The first upper premolar (P 2) is reduced, intruded from the toothrow, and compressed in a recess between the canine (C 1) and P 4. The lower premolars are com- pressed; the first (P 2), which is 1.5 times larger in crown area than the second (P 4), is slightly extruded, its tip does not point ver- tically upwards but obliquely outwards. Over the years, this species has been vari- ously referred to the genus Nyctalus as well as Pipistrellus (for comments, see Corbet and Hill, 1992 and Simmons, 2005).	en	Bumrungsri, Sara, Harrison, David L., Satasook, Chutamas, Prajukjitr, Amorn, Thong-Aree, Siriporn, Bates, Paul J.

7B1787A3A549896AFD5EFDAF9B1ED383.taxon	distribution	Distribution and Ecological Notes Recorded from Borneo, Sumatra, Ma- laysia, Riau Island and Singapore (Corbet and Hill, 1992), and Mindanao Island (Koopman, 1993). This is the first record for Thailand. In Bala Forest, a single individual was caught in the early evening (ca. 19: 00 h) in a mist net set about 5 m above the surface of a running stream. The stream, which was about 15 m wide, flowed through a valley of pristine lowland forest. In Malaysia, it is thought to be a gregarious species and is commonly found roosting in hollow trees or the roofs of houses (Medway, 1969).	en	Bumrungsri, Sara, Harrison, David L., Satasook, Chutamas, Prajukjitr, Amorn, Thong-Aree, Siriporn, Bates, Paul J.

7B1787A3A5488965FF37FA7E9ACAD41E.taxon	discussion	Taxonomic Notes The description is based on the skull only as the skin is not available. The skull, which has a greatest length of 21.2 mm (Table 5), compares favourably to the holotype. It is large and exceeds in size that of Hesperoptenus tickelli (17.2 – 19.9 mm — Corbet and Hill, 1992). It has prominent supraorbital ridges. Its posterior part is ele- vated. The well developed sagittal crest and lambdoid crests combine to make a high and posteriorly projecting lambda. The first upper anterior incisor (I 2) is large, both in crown area (with a transverse width of 1.3 mm) and crown height (2.0 mm). In H. tickelli, the comparable figures are 1.0 – 1.1 mm, 1.5 – 1.8 mm, n = 4, respectively. The second upper incisor (I 3) is virtually flat but with a relatively large crown (transverse width of 1.0 mm). It is intruded within the toothrow, so that I 2 and the upper canine (C 1) are almost in contact. C 1 is large (1.7 mm in crown width and 4.5 mm in height: 1.4 – 1.6 mm and 3.1 – 3.7 mm, n = 4 respectively in H. tickelli) and in contact with the upper premolar (P 4). The lower incisors are more robust than those of H. tickelli. The first lower premolar (P 2) is between one quarter and one third the crown area of the second (P 4).	en	Bumrungsri, Sara, Harrison, David L., Satasook, Chutamas, Prajukjitr, Amorn, Thong-Aree, Siriporn, Bates, Paul J.

7B1787A3A5478964FD73FD8A9827D0C9.taxon	discussion	Taxonomic Notes This is a small, tube nosed bat with a forearm length in Thailand of 30.4 – 30.8 mm (Table 4). The dorsal pelage is brown, intermixed with golden hair tips; the roots are dark grey. Ventrally, the hair roots and tips are very pale, almost white (Fig. 2 c). There is a well developed emargination on the posterior margin of each ear. Each wing is attached to a point close to the base of the claw of the outer toe. The dorsal aspect of the tail membrane and the toes are hairy, buffy brown to orange buff in colour. The skull has a small, shallow rostrum relative to the size of the braincase. The sagittal and lambdoid crests are scarcely evident. The first upper incisor (I 2), which has a second- ary cusp, is small with a crown area about one third that of the second (I 3). I 3 is situat- ed postero-lateral to I 2, such that I 2, which is the same height as I 3, is visible when viewed laterally. The upper canine (C 1) ex- ceeds the second upper premolar (P 4) in height and is about two thirds the crown area. The first upper premolar (P 2) is much reduced, its crown area is one third and its height about half of P 4. The lower canine (C 1) is about equal in height and slightly ex- ceeds the crown area of the second lower premolar (P 4). The first lower premolar (P 2) is about one third the crown area of the sec- ond (P 4). The talonids of the first (M 1) and second (M 2) lower molars are about equal in crown area to the trigonids.	en	Bumrungsri, Sara, Harrison, David L., Satasook, Chutamas, Prajukjitr, Amorn, Thong-Aree, Siriporn, Bates, Paul J.

Its dis- tribution in Sulawesi, Peleng Island and New Guinea is doubtful (Corbet and Hill, 1992). These are the first records from Thailand. The specimen from Bala Forest was cap- tured using a harp trap set across a trail in primary lowland evergreen forest. Three further individuals (forearm length of 30.1 – 31.7 mm), which were not taken as voucher specimens, were collected in adja- cent areas, both along trails and over streams (5 – 12 m wide). A single individual was collected in Hala Forest on the edge of pristine forest, which was adjacent to the large dam of a reservoir. In Ton Nga-chang, M. suilla was captured along a nature trail in late successional forest that had been se- lectively logged 20 – 30 years previously. The elevations of these sites were less than 200 m a. s. l.	en	Bumrungsri, Sara, Harrison, David L., Satasook, Chutamas, Prajukjitr, Amorn, Thong-Aree, Siriporn, Bates, Paul J. J.

7B1787A3A5468967FC83FF6B99E2D231.taxon	discussion	Taxonomic Notes This is a small Murina. The forearm lengths of the Thai specimens are 34.7 and 35.7 mm. The hairs on the dorsal pelage are dark brown with golden tips. The ventral pelage is paler, with dark roots and buff- brown tips (Fig. 2 d). The ears have a small emargination on their posterior borders. Each wing is attached near to the base of the claw on the outer toe. The dorsal aspect of the tail membrane and the feet are cover- ed with golden hairs. The skull, with a condylo-canine length of 15.0 – 15.4 mm, is larger than that of M. suilla (Table 5). The rostrum is more robust and the anterior part is slightly bulbous when viewed laterally. There is a well developed rostral sulcus and a sagittal crest is present. The upper toothrows are not conspicuously convergent. The second upper incisor (I 3) is equal in height, has twice the crown area, and is situated alongside the bicuspid first (I 2), which in consequence is scarcely visible when viewed laterally. The first upper canine (C 1) is equal to, or larger than, the second upper premolar (P 4) when viewed laterally and has an equal crown area. The mesostyle of the first (M 1) and second (M 2) upper molars is greatly reduced. In the low- er dentition, the first premolar (P 2) is about 60 % of the crown area of the second (P 4). The talonids of the first (M 1) and second (M 2) lower molars are smaller than the trigonid.	en	Bumrungsri, Sara, Harrison, David L., Satasook, Chutamas, Prajukjitr, Amorn, Thong-Aree, Siriporn, Bates, Paul J.

7B1787A3A5468967FC83FF6B99E2D231.taxon	distribution	Distribution and Ecological Notes Currently, M. aenea is recorded from peninsular Malaysia and Sabah in Borneo (Medway, 1969; Hill and Francis, 1984). This is the first record from Thailand. In Hala Forest, it was captured in a harp trap set over a small stream (4 m wide). The area is relatively flat, with an elevation of less than 200 m a. s. l. The vegetation com- prises pristine lowland evergreen forest with a lower storey of dense shrub and sapling cover. It is ca. 500 m from a river. In Ton Nga-chang, it was caught in a harp trap set at ground level along a trail leading to a waterfall. The trail is on a foothill, which as has an elevation of about 200 m a. s. l. and is close to a stream. The vegetation is undisturbed lowland evergreen forest. The canopy (30 m in height) is dominated by large dipterocarps while the ground lay- er is moderately covered with shrubs and herbs.	en	Bumrungsri, Sara, Harrison, David L., Satasook, Chutamas, Prajukjitr, Amorn, Thong-Aree, Siriporn, Bates, Paul J.

7B1787A3A5458967FF08FBA69AF0D0C9.taxon	discussion	Taxonomic Notes This is a small Kerivoula with a relative- ly long tail (Table 4). The internal aspects of the ears, including the tragus, are orange; the ear margins are dark and there is an emargination on the posterior border (Fig. 2 e). The snout is also orange. The dorsal pelage is pale orangebrown with grey hair bases. The ventral pelage is lighter. The wing membranes are dark brown with a thin, light creamy-white border. The tail is long and the membrane on the dorsal sur- face is hairy. A glandular diamond-shaped swelling (6.5 mm in length by 3.1 mm in greatest width) is present on the fourth vertebra of the tail. The skull has an abruptly elevated, bulbous braincase. The rostrum has a well developed sulcus and a deep U-shaped narial emagination. The post palatal extension is narrow (1.3 mm). The crown width of the first upper premolar (P 2) slightly exceeds its antero-posterior length. The second premolar (P 3) is almost circular in outline with a crown area and height about equal to that of P 2. In the lower denti- tion, the first premolar (P 2) is about equal in crown area to the second (P 3), which is about 85 % of the crown area of the third (P 4). They are all equal in height.	en	Bumrungsri, Sara, Harrison, David L., Satasook, Chutamas, Prajukjitr, Amorn, Thong-Aree, Siriporn, Bates, Paul J. J.

7B1787A3A5458967FF08FBA69AF0D0C9.taxon	distribution	Distribution and Ecological Notes Kerivoula pellucida is currently record- ed from Malaysia, Sumatra, Java, Borneo, and the Philippines (Simmons, 2005). This is the first confirmed record from Thailand. In Bala Forest, it was found in the dry season flying up and down small trails (2 m wide) in riverine pristine lowland ever- green forest. Additionally, two further indi- viduals (forearm lengths of 30.1, 31.7 mm), which were not taken as voucher speci- mens, were caught over a small stream (4 – 7 m wide) in Bala and Hala Forests respec- tively. In Ton Nga-chang Wildlife Sanctuary, Songkhla Province, three individuals were captured in old growth secondary forest. None was kept as a voucher speci- men. All the sites are less than 200 m a. s. l. A female captured in Bala Forest in mid May, 2003, was lactating.	en	Bumrungsri, Sara, Harrison, David L., Satasook, Chutamas, Prajukjitr, Amorn, Thong-Aree, Siriporn, Bates, Paul J. J.

7B1787A3A5448966FF4CFF699A5CD72F.taxon	discussion	Taxonomic Notes As only a photograph (Fig. 2 f) but not the skin is available, this description of the Thai specimen is based on the skull. The skull, with a condylo-canine length of 18.4 mm (Table 5) is large and has broad zygo- mata. The braincase is inflated anteriorly and the sagittal and lambdoid crests are prominent. The palatal branches of the pre- maxillae are ossified and fused anteriorly; the two small anterior palatal foramina are isolated. The lachrymal projections are prominent. The small ‘ first’upper premolar (P 2) is absent, and the canine (C 1) is in con- tact with the ‘ second’upper premolar (P 4). The third upper molar (M 3) is reduced and flattened antero-posteriorly, with its second commissure greatly shortened, the meso- style reduced and the metastyle absent. In the lower dentition, the premolars are com- pressed in the toothrow; the first (P 2) is about equal in crown area to the second (P 4).	en	Bumrungsri, Sara, Harrison, David L., Satasook, Chutamas, Prajukjitr, Amorn, Thong-Aree, Siriporn, Bates, Paul J.

7B1787A3A5448966FF4CFF699A5CD72F.taxon	distribution	Distribution and Ecological Notes Mops mops is found in peninsular Ma- laysia, Sumatra and Borneo (Corbet and Hill, 1992). The record from Java is doubt- ful (Hill, 1961). This species was captured in the same mist net and almost at the same time as P. stenopterus (see above). Cheiromeles tor- quatus was also collected from this locality. Medway (1969) considered this to be a gre- garious bat that roosts in dead or hollow trees and is often associated with the naked bat, C. torquatus.	en	Bumrungsri, Sara, Harrison, David L., Satasook, Chutamas, Prajukjitr, Amorn, Thong-Aree, Siriporn, Bates, Paul J.
