Hipposideros dyacorum [Thomas, 1902]

Hipposideros dyacorum Thomas, 1902: 271 ; Mountain Mulu , Baram, Sarawak, MALAYSIA (Charles Hose, collector; BM(NH) 1894.9.29.10) [ 131].

Common English name: Dayak Roundleaf Bat

Barcode Index Number: BOLD: AAD 0486 (1 DNA barcode is from Peninsular Malaysia; Fig 4 )

Remarks: Murray et al. [ 125] found little divergence in ND2 and RAG1 mtDNA (<1%) between “ dyacorum ” in Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia, Borneo. However, our NJ analysis showed> 2% divergence between DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah, Borneo ( Fig 4 ). We tentatively retained the name H. dyacorum in our checklist pending further research into these taxa.

IUCN status: Least Concern

Recorded at: Pahang: Krau Wildlife Reserve [ 32], Kenong [ 100]; Perlis: Wang Kelian State Park [ 50], Gua Tekong Siam [ 132]; Perak: Temenggor Lake [ 69]; Terengganu: Tasik Kenyir [ 69]; Kelantan: Gunung Stong State Park [ 100], Gua Musang (ABBSI020-04).

H. dyacorum has been reported roosting in caves, under rocks and in tree hollows [ 14].

Fig 4. Neighbour-joining tree showing all available DNA barcodes for species in family Hipposideridae reported from Peninsular Malaysia. The percentage of pseudoreplicate trees (±70%) in which the DNA barcodes clustered together in the bootstrap test (500 pseudoreplicates) are shown above the branches. Abbreviation as follows: PM = Peninsular Malaysia,VN = Vietnam, BN = Borneo (including Sabah & Sarawak of East Malaysia, Brunei and Kalimantan Indonesia), TH = Thailand, LA = Laos, SM = Sumatera Indonesia, CH = China, CM = Cambodia. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0179555.g004
