Remarks

Cynopterus horsfieldii was also a common pteropodid species in the survey area but less abundant than C. brachyotis and C. minutus . Abundance was higher in coffee plantations than in forest. It can be distinguished from other Cynopterus bats by the peg-like cusp on the 3rd and 4th lower cheek teeth.
