Comments

One male individual was captured in a harp-trap set over a stream in forest at the Tabalar formation. This is the second record for Kalimantan. It is known as a rare, and patchily distributed forest specialist, and is only known from several other local- ities in Sabah and Peninsular Malaysia where it has also been associated with streams in good quality forest (Payne et al., 2000; Kingston et al., 2003; Boitani et al., 2006). It is listed as Near Threatened by the IUCN (Hutson et al., 2001), and is dis- tinguished from other Murina by skull length (CCL 13.96 mm, which is longer than that of M. suilla) and having golden tips to the fur.
