Myotis federatus View in CoL [ 35].

Barcode Index Number: There are no DNA barcodes recorded under this name on BOLD. DNA barcodes recorded as M. montivagus are associated with two BINs, BOLD: AAC 5917 and BOLD: AAU 0309, but there are no DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia.

Remarks: M. federatus was previousy considered to be a subspecies of M. montivagus [ 9] based on dental characters [ 213]. Görföl et al. [ 35], however, noted that M. federatus has smaller forearms, a larger skull and smaller middle upper premolars (P3). The species have distinct geographical ranges: M. federatus is confined to Peninsular Malaysia whereas M. montivagus is distributed from south China to northern Myanmar [ 35]. Previous records of M. montivagus from Peninsular Malaysia [ 1, 5, 50, 111] should be updated to M. federatus [ 35].

IUCN status: Not Evaluated but Least Concern as M. montivagus .

Recorded at: Previously recorded as M. montivagus at: Selangor: Genting Semangkok [ 23], Batu Caves (HNHM 98.14.31 [ 35]), Ulu Gombak [ 54]; Pahang: Genting Highland [ 54]; Perak: Temengor Forest Reserve [ 46, 47]; Perlis: Wang Kelian State Park [ 50].

M. federatus has been recorded in primary and secondary forests with elevations up to 1,000 m [ 14].
