Comments
Individuals were captured in harp-traps set in the forest at Baai, Marang and Tintang formations. It was also captured in Gua Kelelawar at the Tintang formation. Its dis- tribution is limited to scattered localities in
Sabah
,
Sarawak
and
Brunei
and Peninsular
Malaysia
. Records from Sangkulirang are amongst only three for
Kalimantan
. It is known to roost in caves, rocky outcrops and hollow trees and to forage in little-disturbed forest (
Payne
et al.
, 2000
). Our captures in the burnt vegetation around Baai suggest that it may also utilise secondary forests if roost resources are still available.
