Aselliscusstoliczkanus [ 23 ]. Common English name: Trident Roundleaf Bat Barcode Index Number: DNA barcodes recorded as A . stolickanus are associated with ten BINs, BOLD : AAA6446 , BOLD : AAA6447 , BOLD : AAA6448 , BOLD : AAA6449 , BOLD : AAA6450 , BOLD : AAA6451 , BOLD : ABY9671 , BOLD : ABY9672 , BOLD : ACF3013 , and BOLD : ACF3014 . These DNA barcodes are from Vietnam, Laos, China and Myanmar (S1 Fig ) . 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 . IUCN status: Least Concern Recorded at: Pulau Pinang : Pulau Pinang [ 77 ]; Pahang : Pulau Tioman [ 112 ]. A . stolickanus roosts in limestone caves and forages in forested and disturbed areas [ 14 , 74 ]. Both records from Peninsular Malaysia are from islands in northern Peninsular Malaysia . In Thailand , A . stolickanus is uncommon but widespread [ 74 ]. Its rarity in sampling could be due to its ability to detect and avoid mist nets [ 112 ].
