Comments

Five individuals confirmed by dentition of specimens were captured in a harp-trap emerging from Gua Sungai at the Marang formation, two of which exhibited a very high parasite load. This represents the first record for Kalimantan and extends the known range of this species in Borneo southward by about 350 km from records in Sabah (Boitani et al., 2006). This species is listed as Near Threatened by the IUCN (Hutson et al., 2001). Myotis muricola (Gray, 1846)
