Cynopterus cf. brachyotis FOREST. Cynopterusbrachyotis FOREST [ 64].

Cynopterus JLE sp. A Francis et al. [ 4] (and as in BOLD).

Common English name: Forest Short-nosed Fruit Bat

Barcode Index Number: BOLD: AAA 9308 (19 DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia; Fig 2 )

IUCN status: As C. brachyotis: Least Concern

Remarks: The FOREST form is smaller than the SUNDA form with an average forearm length of less than 63 mm and is confined to primary and mature secondary forests [ 11, 14, 64]. See the remarks on C. cf. brachyotis SUNDA.

Recorded at: Confirmed records of “FOREST” (see above): Selangor: Ulu Gombak [ 5];

Pahang: Krau Wildlife Reserve [ 64]; Johor: Endau Rompin [ 64]; Perlis: Perlis State Park and Kuala Perlis [ 64]; Kelantan: Gua Musang [ 64], Perak: Taiping [ 64], Gunung Stong State Park [ 67]; Melaka: Unspecified [ 68]; Terengganu: Tasik Kenyir and Temenggor Lake [ 69].

C. cf. brachyotis FOREST is generally restricted to primary and mature secondary forests [ 11, 14, 64] and has not been reported from disturbed habitats [ 65].
