Remarks
This was the smallest fruit bat species captured in the study area ( Table 2 View TABLE ). Individuals were recorded from primary forests only. Two individuals were captured with mist nets at an elevation of 50 m and 440 m a.s.l., respectively. The species can be distinguished from other Pteropodidae in the study area by smaller body size ( Table 2 View TABLE ) and appearance of white spots on the face and finger joints. Our records are the most southern localities of the species in Sumatra.
