Comments
A single male individual distinguished by its size, dark coloration and pointed connecting process, was captured in a harp- trap set across a trail in heavily burnt forest dominated by
Piper
sp. at the Baai forma- tion. Otherwise in Borneo it is only known from one location in Central Kalimantan and scattered localities in
Sabah
. This study extends the known distribution of this species (
Boitani
et al
., 2006
) southward by
300 km
.
