Rhinolophus pusillus Temminck, 1834
Rhinolophus pusillus Temminck, 1834: 29; Java, INDONESIA (Collector unknown; NMNL 35177, lectotype) [116].
Common English name: Least Horseshoe Bat
Barcode Index Number: DNA barcodes recorded as R. pusillus are associated with three BINs, (BOLD: AAA 9397 , BOLD: ABZ 1016, and BOLD: ABZ 2360), but there are no DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia (S6 Fig).
Remarks: The BIN, BOLD:ABZ1016 contains DNA barcodes recorded as R. pusillus and R. lepidus . We suspect that the DNA barcodes recorded as R. pusillus (ABBSI244-10, ABBSI253- 10, ABBSI263-10 and ABRVN310-06) are cases of mis-identification (see remarks on R. lepidus). Which BIN, if any, represents the valid R. pusillus remains to be determined.
IUCN status: Least Concern
Recorded at: Kedah: Ulu Muda Forest Reserve [57] ; Pahang: Pulau Tioman (DWNP-M- 08077, DWNP-M-08080, DWNP-M-08083) ; Johor: Gunung Ledang State Park (DWNP-M- 08076, DWNP-M-08078, DWNP-M-08079, DWNP-M-08081, DWNP-M-08082) ; Negeri Sembilan: Berembun Forest Reserve [101] .
R. pusillus roosts in caves, bamboo clumps and buildings and has been reported foraging in primary and secondary forests [14].
