Glischropus sp.

New record Lampung Province: Sukabanjar Forest.

New material

One individual was collected as a voucher specimen. Lampung Province: Sukabanjar Forest, 1♂ ( MZB 35030).

Remarks

This was a small Pipistrellus -like bat (FA = 32.1 mm; BM = 4.8 g) caught with a harp trap adjacent to a small stream near the edge of disturbed forest at Sukabanjar at an elevation of 743 m a.s.l. The only known Glischropus species in Sumatra, G. tylopus , is smaller in forearm length (27.9–30.9 mm). Instead, the forearm length falls into the size range of G. bucephalus (FA = 32.1–35.7 mm) in Cambodia and is similar to G. javanus (FA = 32.0 mm) in Java ( Csorba, 2011). The fur is dark gray basally with light brown tips on the upperparts, and the fur of the underparts is dark brown at the base and grayish brown to the tips. The cranial and external characters of this Glischropus are more similar to G. bucephalus than the other two species (G. Csorba, personal communication). Genetic analysis and study of craniodental traits are necessary to confirm its taxonomic status.
