Remarks

Cynopterus minutus (see C. brachyotis account for justification of identification of this species) was common and the second most abundant pteropodid species after C. brachyotis in the study area. Individuals were generally abundant in all surveyed habitats, including coffee plantations, forest edge, and forests, but capture rates of this species in forest understory were higher than rates of other Cynopterus species. The species can be distinguished from other Cynopterus species by smaller body size ( Table 2 View TABLE ), ear shape, and behaviors (see C. brachyotis account).
