Rhinolophus stheno
Andersen, 1905
Lesser brown horseshoe bat
New material
Kachin State
: Namdee Hill,
11.4.2003
, 2 ♂♂ (MA030411:8/18).
Previous records from
Myanmar
Mon State and
Mandalay
Division are included in
Bates
et al.
(2004
b
)
.
Comments
Measurements are included in
Tables 1
and
2
. The diagnostic characters, including the greater length of the tibiae and of
the second phalanx of the third digits, by which
R. stheno
can be distinguished from
R
. malayanus, are discussed in detail in
Bates
et al.
(
2000
and
2004
b
). First collect- ed in November, 2002, this appears to be a less common species than
R. malayanus
in
Myanmar
. The recent record from
Kachin
State extends its range nearly
250 km
to the north in
Myanmar
. It is also the most north- ern locality for this species from throughout its range in Southeast Asia (
Csorba
et al.,
2003
).
