We could not find recent locality reports for K. picta in Peninsular Malaysia although the species is thought to occur in Peninsular Malaysia [ 1, 6, 9, 10, 14, 23]. This species has been recorded from Thailand [ 74] and may be restricted to northern Peninsular Malaysia. K. picta has been reported roosting among dead leaves of trees and bananas [ 14].
