Comments

A male individual was captured in a harp-trap set in the forest understorey at Tabalar, and was easily distinguished from other Bornean Kerivoula by its near translucent wings and ear length (15.0 mm). It is considered a forest specialist ( Kingston et al., 2003) with scattered distribution over Borneo ( Boitani et al., 2006). However, as far as we are aware this is the first record for East Kalimantan.
