Murina huttoni
[Peters, 1872]
Harpyiocephalus huttonii
Peters, 1872: 257
; Dehra Dun, Kumaon, northwest
INDIA
(Collector unknown; BM(NH) 1879.11.21.685) [
195
].
Murina huttoni
[
23
].
Common English name:
Hutton’s Tube-nosed Bat
Barcode Index Number:
DNA barcodes of
M
.
huttoni
are associated with three BINs,
BOLD
:
AAC
6107,
BOLD
:
AAC
6108 and
BOLD
:
AAC
6109, but there are no DNA barcodes from Peninsular
Malaysia
.
IUCN status:
Least Concern
Remarks:
Francis and Eger [
33
] commented that
M
.
huttoni
may be the only
Murina
species that occurs in both Peninsular
Malaysia
and Indo-Burma after
M
.
peninsularis
was separated from
M
.
cyclotis
. The large divergence among the DNA barcodes in our NJ tree suggest that
M
.
huttoni
is also a species complex (S7 Fig). Simmons [
98
] recognises two subspecies:
M
.
h
.
huttoni
. (
type
locality:
India
) and
M
.
h rubella
(
type
locality: Fokien,
China
). Whether the
M
.
huttoni
in Peninsular
Malaysia
represents either of these subspecies remains to be determined [
33
].
Recorded at:
Pahang
:
Gunong Benom in Krau Wildlife Reserve
[
23
].
The
only specimens of
M
.
huttoni
from
Peninsular
Malaysia
was trapped at
1400 m
[

].
