Philetor brachypterus View in CoL [Temmick, 1840]

Vespertilio brachypterus Temmick, 1840: 215 View in CoL , pl. 53; Padang district , Sumatra, INDONESIA (Collector unknown; Type unknown) [ 82].

Philetor brachypterus View in CoL [ 23].

Common English name: Narrow-winged Brown Bat

Barcode Index Number: BOLD:AAF6860 (1 DNA barcode from Peninsular Malaysia; Fig 6 View Fig 6 )

Remarks: DNA barcodes recorded as P. brachypterus are associated with two BINs, BOLD: AAF6860 and BOLD:AAF6859. Hill and Francis [ 173] reported that specimens from Borneo and Peninsular Malaysia are similar in size, while Corbet and Hill [ 9] commented that size variation occurs within the species. Our NJ analysis suggested that the DNA barcode from Peninsular Malaysia (BM434-04) may represents a cryptic species ( Fig 6 View Fig 6 ), however, we retain the name P. brachypterus in our checklist pending further research.

IUCN status: Least Concern

Recorded at: Johor: Endau-Rompin National Park (BM434-04 was collected in year 2001 [ 4]); Perak: Unspecified [ 23]; Selangor: Unspecified [ 23], Ulu Gombak [ 53, 54].

P. brachypterus roosts in tree hollows and has been recorded in primary and secondary forests [ 14].
