Comments

A single male individual was captured in a harp-trap set across a rudimentary trail in disturbed forest at the Marang formation. The Bornean subspecies, M. s. trifolium, is known from localities throughout the is- land, and roosts in caves, man-made structures and large hollow living or fallen trees, but is considered a forest specialist (Kingston et al., 2006).
