Megaderma lyra Geoffroy, 1810

Megaderma lyra Geoffroy, 1810: 190 ; INDIA (Collector unknown; Type unknown) [ 99]. Common English name: Greater False-Vampire

Barcode Index Number: DNA barcodes recorded as M. lyra are associated with the BIN, BOLD: AAC 7954. Two DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia ( RONP 005-14 and RONP 020-14) are not associated with any BIN due to their short sequence length (<500bp) but showed little divergence with other M. lyra DNA barcodes ( Fig 3 ). IUCN status: Least Concern Recorded at: Selangor: Ulu Gombak [ 23], Bukit Kutu Wildlife Reserve [ 51]; Perak: Selama [ 49]. M. lyra has been reported roosting in shallow caves, buildings and tunnels [ 14, 23].
