Lesser hairy-winged bat

New record Lampung Province: Way Canguk Forest.

Previous records from Sumatra

Only listed for Sumatra ( van Strien, 1996; Suyanto et al., 2002; Simmons, 2005), but no locality records given.

Remarks

A single male was collected by previous researchers from Way Canguk Forest (MZB 31483). This finding confirms the record of this large species of Murininae in Sumatra. It is a widespread species from India to Southeast Asia, China, and Taiwan ( Simmons, 2005), but is rare across all its range. We do not consider it as Harpiocephalus mordax , because recent evidence suggests that H. mordax is an invalid name based on a female H. harpia ( Matveev, 2005; Matveev and Csorba, 2007).
