C. Shortridge , collector; BM(NH) 1909.1.5.464) [ 186 ]. Common English name: Medium Bent-winged Bat Barcode Index Number: BOLD :AAF0138 (1 DNA barcode from Peninsular Malaysia ; Fig 6 ) Remarks: DNA barcodes recorded as M . medius are associated with two BINs, BOLD: AAF0137, and BOLD:AAF0138. The BIN, BOLD:AAF0138 contains the only DNA barcode from Peninsular Malaysia (ABBSI031-04) and unidentified DNA barcodes from Thailand . None of the DNA barcodes were collected near the type locality. We found an 8.1% divergence between the two BINs ( Fig 6 ). No subspecies is described for the species at the moment. IUCN status: Least Concern Recorded at: Pahang : Krau Wildlife Reserve [ 11 ], Panching and Fraser Hill [ 23 ], Bukit Cheras [ 140 ]; Perak : Maxwell Hill and Gunong Pondok [ 23 ]; Johor : Kaban Island [ 23 ]; Selangor : Ulu Gombak [ 53 ]; Terengganu : Bukit Dendong [ 97 ]. M . medius roosts in caves and inhabits primary lowland, hill and montane forests [ 11 , 14 , 23 ].
