Common English name:
Cantor’s Roundleaf Bat
Barcode Index Number:
BOLD
:
AAC
3087 (2 DNA barcodes from Peninsular
Malaysia
;
Fig 4
)
Remarks:
DNA barcodes recorded as
H
.
galeritus
are associated with two BINs, BOLD: AAC3086 and BOLD:AAC3087. The BIN, BOLD:AAC3086 contains DNA barcodes from Peninsular
Malaysia
and
Thailand
whereas BOLD:AAC3087 contains DNA barcodes from
Vietnam
and
Laos
(
Fig 4
). DNA barcodes from Peninsular
Malaysia
and
Thailand
are likely to represent
H
