These
DNA barcodes are from
Vietnam, Laos, China
and
Myanmar
(S1

.
Whether any of these DNA barcodes represent the valid
A

stolickanus
remains to be determined as none of the DNA barcodes are from bats collected near the
type
locality (
Pulau Pinang
,
Peninsular
Malaysia
).
There
are no DNA barcodes from
Peninsular
Malaysia
.
