Comments
This species was captured in harp-traps set in forest at all of the four formations, and was distinguished from
K. intermedia
by body mass (
2 g
) and short skull (CBL
10.16–10.36 mm
). This Near Threatened (Hutson
et al
., 2001), forest specialist (
Kingston
et al
., 2003
) has been reported from forested sites throughout
Sabah
, and sympatrically with
K. intermedia
in Central Kalimantan and
Sarawak
(
Boitani
et al
., 2006
), but appears to be much rarer than
K. intermedia
.
