Comments
A single male horseshoe bat was cap- tured in a harp-trap at the Baai formation, and was tentatively identified as
R. arcuatus
by the connecting process originating dis- tinctly from the tip of the sella. However, the appearance of the connecting process is distinct from that portrayed in Csorba
et al
. (2003) from the
Philippines
, and from the specimens from
Sarawak
held in the NHM (L. Ruedas, personal observation). It is also distinct from all of the specimens we list as
R. affinis
from Universitas Mulawarman Samarinda and MZB. There is little material available for
R. arcuatus
in Borneo
since it is only recorded with certainty from the Bau area in
Sarawak
. This specimen is under further investigation, and may repre- sent a separate taxon to
R. arcuatus
and
R. affinis
.
