Emballonura monticola View in CoL
A widespread species found from Peninsular Malaysia to Sulawesi. It appears to be a rare species in our study area. A single male was captured in a hand net by GP and TEM in an extensive cave system (where D. crenulata was also present) ( 31 July 2014). This individual was distinguished from other emballonurids occurring in the region (notably E. alecto ) by its slightly smaller body mass and forearm length (see Table 2), and its distinctive long, worm-like penis ( Flannery, 1995). It has been previously mapped as occurring on Buton Island (Bates et al., 2008a).
