Comments
One male individual was captured in a harp-trap set over a stream in forest at the Tabalar formation. This is the second record for
Kalimantan
. It is known as a rare, and patchily distributed forest specialist, and is only known from several other local- ities in
Sabah
and Peninsular
Malaysia
where it has also been associated with streams in good quality forest (
Payne
et al.
, 2000
;
Kingston
et al
., 2003
;
Boitani
et al
., 2006
). It is listed as Near Threatened by the IUCN (Hutson
et al
., 2001), and is dis- tinguished from other
Murina
by skull length (CCL
13.96 mm
, which is longer than that of
M. suilla
) and having golden tips to the fur.
