Previous records from Myanmar

Comments

Four specimens were collected with a forearm length of 67.0–74.5 mm and a body mass of 53.5–79.5 g. It is easily identifi- able amongst the local fruit bat species by the absence of a claw on the second digit. All specimens from Myanmar are referable to the nominate race E. s. spelaea . This spe- cies was present at Innwine cave despite the commercial extraction of guano.
