Previous records from Myanmar Shan and Rakhine States, and Sagaing , Mandalay and Tanintharyi Divisions ( Pearch et al. , 2003 ); Mon State : Kyaik- Kha-Mi (HZM; and J. P. P. Bates et al. , unpubl. data). Comments Five female specimens were captured at a fruiting fig tree ( Ficus oppositifolia ); none is available for study at the Harrison Institute. The variation in forearm length ( 63.5–76.9 mm ) and body mass ( 22–56 g ) suggests that C. brachyotis ( Muller, 1838 ) may also be present in the sample; this lat- ter taxon is currently only recorded with certainty from Rakhine State . For further details of the systematics of Cynopterus in Myanmar see Pearch et al . (2003) .
