Hipposideros galeritus Cantor, 1846

Hipposideros galeritus Cantor, 1846: 183 ; Pulau Pinang, MALAYSIA (Collector unknown; Type unknown) [ 133].

Common English name: Cantor’s Roundleaf Bat

Barcode Index Number: BOLD: AAC 3087 (2 DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia;

Fig 4 )

Remarks: DNA barcodes recorded as H. galeritus are associated with two BINs, BOLD: AAC3086 and BOLD:AAC3087. The BIN, BOLD:AAC3086 contains DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia and Thailand whereas BOLD:AAC3087 contains DNA barcodes from Vietnam and Laos ( Fig 4 ). DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia and Thailand are likely to represent H. galeritus sensu stricto as they cover the type locality.

IUCN status: Least Concern

Recorded at: Pulau Pinang: Unspecified [ 133]; Pahang: Krau Wildlife Reserve [ 11, 32], Kuala Atok, National Park [ 44], Cameron Highland [ 60], Kenong and Gunung Aais [ 100];

Selangor: Batu Caves [ 23], Ulu Gombak [ 32, 52, 53], Bukit Kutu Wildlife Reserve [ 51], Semangkok Forest Reserve [ 101]; Negeri Sembilan: Broga [ 32], Pasoh Forest Reserve [ 45], Gunung Angsi Forest Reserve and Berembun Forest Reserve [ 101]; Perak: Maxwell Hill [ 32], Temengor Forest Reserve [ 46, 47], Kledang Saiong Forest Reserve [ 100]; Perlis: Wang Kelian State Park [ 50]; Johor: Endau-Kota Tinggi Forest Reserve [ 56], Gunung Panti and Labis Forest Reserve [ 100]; Kedah: Ulu Muda Forest Reserve [ 57]; Kelantan: Air Panas-Gua Musang [ 61], Gunung Reng [ 62].

H. galeritus has been reported roosting in limestone caves and sighted near large rock boulders in mature lowland forest [ 11, 14, 23].
