Comments
A male individual was captured in a harp-trap set across an old logging skid at Tabalar.
Murina suilla
is the smallest of the Bornean
Murina
and can also be recognised externally by fur colour. This species is con- sidered a forest specialist (
Kingston
et al
., 2003
), and has been recorded in harp-trap surveys throughout
Sabah
and at a few lo- calities in
Sarawak
. There are few records from Kalimantan, most likely because of limited use of harp-traps.
