Comments

A single male individual distinguished by its size, dark coloration and pointed connecting process, was captured in a harp- trap set across a trail in heavily burnt forest dominated by Piper sp. at the Baai forma- tion. Otherwise in Borneo it is only known from one location in Central Kalimantan and scattered localities in Sabah. This study extends the known distribution of this species (Boitani et al., 2006) southward by 300 km.
