Comments

This species was captured in harp-traps set in forest at all of the four formations, and was distinguished from K. intermedia by body mass ( 2 g) and short skull (CBL 10.16–10.36 mm). This Near Threatened (Hutson et al., 2001), forest specialist ( Kingston et al., 2003) has been reported from forested sites throughout Sabah, and sympatrically with K. intermedia in Central Kalimantan and Sarawak ( Boitani et al., 2006), but appears to be much rarer than K. intermedia .
