Aselliscusstoliczkanus [Dobson, 1871]

Asellia stoliczkana Dobson, 1871: 106 ; Pulau Pinang, MALAYSIA (Dr. Stoliczka; Type unknown) [ 77].

Aselliscusstoliczkanus [ 23].

Common English name: Trident Roundleaf Bat

Barcode Index Number: DNA barcodes recorded as A. stolickanus are associated with ten BINs, BOLD: AAA6446 , BOLD: AAA6447 , BOLD: AAA6448 , BOLD: AAA6449 , BOLD: AAA6450 , BOLD: AAA6451 , BOLD: ABY9671 , BOLD: ABY9672 , BOLD: ACF3013 , and BOLD: ACF3014 . These DNA barcodes are from Vietnam, Laos, China and Myanmar (S1 Fig) . Whether any of these DNA barcodes represent the valid A. stolickanus remains to be determined as none of the DNA barcodes are from bats collected near the type locality (Pulau Pinang, Peninsular Malaysia). There are no DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia .

IUCN status: Least Concern

Recorded at: Pulau Pinang: Pulau Pinang [ 77]; Pahang: Pulau Tioman [ 112].

A. stolickanus roosts in limestone caves and forages in forested and disturbed areas [ 14, 74]. Both records from Peninsular Malaysia are from islands in northern Peninsular Malaysia. In Thailand, A. stolickanus is uncommon but widespread [ 74]. Its rarity in sampling could be due to its ability to detect and avoid mist nets [ 112].
