Murina suilla
(Temminck, 1840)
Brown tube-nosed bat
New record
Lampung Province
: Way Canguk Forest.
Previous records from
Sumatra
Only listed for
Sumatra
(
van Strien, 1996
;
Simmons, 2005
), but no locality records given.
Remarks
Three individuals of
M. suilla
were captured in harp traps in Way Canguk Forest. Our captures were the first records of this small
Murina
species (FA = 28.4–33.0 mm; BM = 3.8–5.0 g) with a confirmed locality in
Sumatra
.
M. suilla
can be distinguished from
M. peninsularis
and
Harpiocephalus harpia
by the smaller body size and from
M. rozendaali
by differences in fur color and dental characters (see
M. rozendaali
account for details).
