Murina rozendaali Hill and Francis, 1984: 319 ; Gomantong , Sabah, Borneo, MALAYSIA 5˚ 31’N, 118˚4’E (Charles M. Francis, collector; BM(NH) 1983.360) [ 173].

Common English name: Rozendaal’s Tube-nosed Bat

Barcode Index Number: DNA barcodes of M. rozendaali are associated with BIN, BOLD: AAK8797 but there are no DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia.

Remarks: Francis [ 196] noted that specimens from Peninsular Malaysia are smaller than specimens from Sabah in terms of weight and forearm lengtht, which may be due to ecological factors.

IUCN status: Vulnerable

Recorded at: Pahang: Krau Wildlife Reserve [11, 31; 196] ; Negeri Sembilan: Pasoh [ 32];

Selangor: Semangkok Forest Reserve and Ulu Gombak [ 101]; Terengganu: Gunung Tebu Forest Reserve [ 101]; Perak: Kledang Saiong Forest Reserve [ 101], Temengor Forest Reserve [ 111].

All specimens of M. rozendaali from Peninsular Malaysia were collected in primary forests [ 11] although the species has been recorded in disturbed lowland forest in other regions [ 14].
