Hipposideros doriae (Peters 1871)

Bornean Leaf-nosed Bat (Kelawar Ladam Bulat Lawas)

Specimens examined (2).—Mt. Penrisen: TK 152239 (GenBank FJ460489), TTU 108390.

Type locality.— Malaysia (Borneo), Sarawak .

Malaysian distribution.—Recorded from Peninsular Malaysia (Pahang: Gunung Benom, Krau, Tasik Bera; Perak: Maxwell Hill; and Selangor: Hulu Gombak) and Borneo (Sabah: Gunung Emas-Crocker Range; and Sarawak: Lawas). Our record is new for Mt. Penrisen and is the second record for Sarawak. The first record was described as H. sabanus Thomas 1898, from Lawas, but today sabanus is recognized as a junior synonym of H. doriae Peters 1871 .

Remarks.— Bicolor species group (Corbet and Hill 1992). Hipposideros doriae was caught in a harp trap near a small stream and in a net placed across a small pond. This species is distinguished from other similar species by a posterior noseleaf that lacks vertical septa (Benda 2000; Fig. 3a), a slightly concave horseshoe that is swollen in the middle of an internarial septum, and nostrils covered with small lappets. Gray or dark brown pigments can be observed on rostrum and noseleaf. Both Bornean specimens have the same cyt- b gene haplotype.
