Emballonura monticola Temminck, 1838

Lesser sheath-tailed bat

New records

Lampung Province: Sukaraja Village, Sumber Rejo Village, Way Canguk Forest.

Previous records from Sumatra

North Sumatra Province: Nias Island; West Sumatra Province: Mentawai Islands ( Simmons, 2005). Remarks

In Way Canguk Forest, we recorded E. monticola roosting in the Gimbar 1 cave with H. larvatus , but using separate chambers, as well as under a dormitory of the WCS research station. Individuals identified by their distinctive echolocation calls were observed foraging closing to the height of the tree crown (10–15 m) at the edge of coffee plantations. It can be distinguished from E. alecto by the presence of a gap between the first two upper premolars (Corbet and Hill, 1996).
