Remarks.— Kerivoula hardwickii was collected using harp traps near streams and fragmented forest. Historically, this species has been confused with K. pellucida (Tomes 1858), however the wings of K. hardwickii are not as translucent as those of K. pellucida . Kerivoula hardwickii also has a less globular braincase, with a wider posterior palate extension. Our specimens have dark gray fur and long ears, whereas K. pellucida has orange-brown fur and smaller ears.
