Murina suilla (Temminck, 1840) View in CoL

Brown tube-nosed bat

New record Lampung Province: Way Canguk Forest.

Previous records from Sumatra

Only listed for Sumatra ( van Strien, 1996; Simmons, 2005), but no locality records given.

Remarks

Three individuals of M. suilla were captured in harp traps in Way Canguk Forest. Our captures were the first records of this small Murina species (FA = 28.4–33.0 mm; BM = 3.8–5.0 g) with a confirmed locality in Sumatra. M. suilla can be distinguished from M. peninsularis and Harpiocephalus harpia by the smaller body size and from M. rozendaali by differences in fur color and dental characters (see M. rozendaali account for details).
