Previous records from Myanmar

Shan and Rakhine States, and Sagaing, Mandalay and Tanintharyi Divisions ( Pearch et al., 2003); Mon State: Kyaik- Kha-Mi (HZM; and J. P. P. Bates et al., unpubl. data).

Comments

Five female specimens were captured at a fruiting fig tree ( Ficus oppositifolia ); none is available for study at the Harrison Institute. The variation in forearm length (63.5–76.9 mm) and body mass (22–56 g) suggests that C. brachyotis ( Muller, 1838) may also be present in the sample; this lat- ter taxon is currently only recorded with certainty from Rakhine State. For further details of the systematics of Cynopterus in Myanmar see Pearch et al. (2003).
