Barcode Index Number: DNA barcodes recorded as M. hasseltii are associated with the BIN, BOLD: AAC 1504, but there are no DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia.

IUCN status: Least Concern

Recorded at: Kedah: Pahang: Krau Wildlife Reserve [ 11]; Kuah in Pulau Langkawi [ 23, 140]; Selangor: Unspecified mangrove forest [ 23]; Perlis: Kangar [ 140]; Perak: Kuala Gula [ 140].

M. hasseltii has been reported roosting in limestone caves and rock crevices, and recorded foraging near coastal areas, mangroves and water bodies such as rivers, lakes and seashores [ 11, 14, 23]. The species is presumed to skim small fishes and insects from water surface [ 11].
