Remarks

This was the most common Myotis species in our study area. It is a small brown bat with wing membrane attached at the base of the toes. Most individuals were captured with mist nets and harp traps between 50 to 600 m a.s.l. in coffee plantations. A few individuals were captured in the understory in the Sukaraja Forest and one individual was trapped around two meters above the Way Pemerihan River.
