Previous records from Sumatra

van Strien (1996) listed this species as present throughout Sumatra but without details of localities.

Remarks

Cynopterus horsfieldii was also a common pteropodid species in the survey area but less abundant than C. brachyotis and C. minutus . Abundance was higher in coffee plantations than in forest. It can be distinguished from other Cynopterus bats by the peg-like cusp on the 3rd and 4th lower cheek teeth.
