T. Pearson, presenter; BM (NH) 1879.11.21.126) [ 178 ]. Common English name: Indian Woolly Bat Barcode Index Number: BOLD : AAD 4874 (3 DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia ; Fig 6 ) Remarks: K . lenis was previously considered as a subspecies of K . papillosa [ 171 ] but was later raised as a distinct species [ 98 , 176 ]. Douangboubpha et al. [ 170 ] reported three distinct clusters of K . papillosa based on NJ analyses at COI mtDNA ( K . papillosa A, Band C) in Thailand of which K . lenis from Peninsular Malaysia (BIN, BOLD:AAD4874) is clustered with K . papillosa C. K . lenis from Peninsular Malaysia has been reported to be 5.33% divergent from K . lenis from Borneoand > 14% divergentfrom K . cf. lenis from Laos [ 4 , 169 , 170 ]. Whether the taxon occurring in Peninsular Malaysia represents K . lenis sensu stricto remains to be determined due to the lack of comparative materials from the type locality, India [ 170 ]. Our NJ analysis ( Fig 6 ) revealed three clusters of DNA barcodes recorded as K . lenis and K . cf. lenis associated with three BINs, BOLD:AAC9530, BOLD:AAD4873 and BOLD:AAD4874. IUCN status: Least Concern Recorded at: Pahang : Krau Wildlife Reserve [ 32 ] ; Negeri Sembilan : Pasoh Forest Reserve (specimen BM (NH) 1988.46) . K . lenis has been recorded in understory of forest [ 14 ].
