Dyacopterusspadiceus [Thomas, 1890]

Cynopterus spadiceus Thomas, 1890: 235 ; Baram , Sarawak, MALAYSIA (Charles Hose, collector; BM(NH) 1890.1.28.4) [ 75].

Dyacopterusspadiceus [ 76].

Common English name: Dayak Fruit Bat

Barcode Index Number: There are two public DNA barcodes of D. spadiceus on BOLD, but neither are associated with any BIN due to the short sequence length (<500 bp). One DNA barcode ( BM 447-04) is from Peninsular Malaysia [ 4] and our NJ analysis revealed that this DNA barcode exhibited little divergence with the DNA barcode from Kalimantan, Indonesia ( BM 265-04) ( Fig 2 ).

IUCN status: Near Threatened

Recorded at: Pahang: Krau Wildlife Reserve [ 11, 42]; Perak: Temengor Forest Reserve [ 46, 47]; Selangor: Bukit Kutu Wildlife Reserve [ 51], Sungai Dusun Forest Reserve [ 56]; Kedah: Ulu Muda Forest Reserve [ 57].

D. spadiceus roosts in tree cavities and ferns and has been recorded in lowland, hill and montane forests, and nearby limetone caves [11, 14. 22].
