;
NEPAL
(Brian Houghton Hodgson, presenter; BM (NH) 45.1.8.416) [

].
Common English name:
Big-eared Horseshoe Bat
Barcode Index Number:
DNA barcodes recorded as
R
.
macrotis
are associated with two BINs,
BOLD
:
AAC
2064
and
BOLD
:ACU9422, but there are no DNA barcodes from Peninsular
Malaysia
.
Remarks:
The BIN, BOLD:AAC2064 includes DNA barcodes recorded as
R
.
macrotis
and
R
.
siamensis
, and both demonstrated very shallow genetic divergences [
4
] (S5 Fig). The BIN, BOLD:ACU9422 contains two DNA barcodes which are originally from GenBank and may be erroneous.
IUCN status:
Least Concern
