Hipposideros atrox Andersen, 1918

Hipposideros gentilis atrox Andersen, 1918: 381 ; Semangko Gap , Selangor, MALAYSIA, 2800 ft (A. L. Butler, Esq., presenter; BM(NH) 1901.3.9.4) [ 117].

Hipposideros bicolor atrox [ 118].

Hipposideros bicolor 142 [ 16].

Hipposideros atrox [ 17].

Common English name: Lesser Bicoloured Roundleaf Bat

Barcode Index Number: BOLD: ACE 5015 (2 DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia) and BOLD: ACE 6229 (11 DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia). The two BINs showed less than 2% of divergence in COI mtDNA ( Fig 4 ).

IUCN status: Not Evaluated but Least Concern as H. bicolor :

Recorded at: As H. cf. bicolor : Perlis: Perlis State Park (ABBSI006-04 and ABBSI007-04 [ 4]); Pahang: Krau Wildlife Reserve (ABBSI011-04, ABBSI015-04 [ 4]), Kuala Lompat (BM452-04 [ 4]), Kuala Lipis (ABBSI012-04 [ 4]), and Bukit Sagu-Kuantan (ABBSI009-04 [ 4]);

Kelantan: Dabong (ABBSI010-04 [ 4]); Selangor: Ampang (ABBSI013-04 [ 4]); Perak: Gunung Gajah-Ipoh (ABBSI014-04 [ 4]); Negeri Sembilan: Pasoh Forest Reserve (BM453-04 [ 4]).

As H. bicolor 142: Pahang: Krau Wildlife Reserve [ 11], Bukit Ibam, Jengka, Klau Besar, and Kenong [ 100]; Selangor: Semangkok Forest Reserve [ 101], Ulu Gombak [ 5, 101]; Terengganu: Pasir Raja, Dungun [ 15], Tasik Kenyir [ 69], Gunung Tebu Forest Reserve [ 101]; Negeri Sembilan: Berembun Forest Reserve [ 101], Gunung Angsi Forest Reserve [ 100, 101]; Perak: Temenggor Lake [ 69], Kledang Saiong Forest Reserve [ 100]; Kelantan: Gunung Stong State Park [ 100]; Pulau Pinang: Bukit Panchor [ 100]; Kedah: Bukit Hijau [ 100]. Also see records of H. bicolor sensu lato above.

Roosting colonies of H. atrox vary from a few to hundreds of individuals [ 17]. The species has a wide range of habitat: limestone caves, hill and lowland primary forests, secondary forests, and even highly disturbed areas including plantations and human residences [ 11, 14, 23, 17]. Individuals have been reported roosting with other Hipposideros species [ 17].
