Eonycteris major K. Andersen 1910

Eonycteris major K. Andersen 1910, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 6: 625.

Type Locality: Malaysia, N Borneo, Sarawak, Mt. Dulit.

Vernacular Names: Greater Dawn Bat.

Distribution: Borneo, Mentawai Isls (Indonesia).

Conservation: IUCN / SSC Action Plan (1992) – Not Threatened. IUCN 2003 – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Apparently does not include robusta and longicauda; see Heaney et al. (1987, 1998). Corbet and Hill (1992) suggested that the Mentawai Isls record may have been based on a large example of spelaea, but it appears that this material may actually represent an undescribed subspecies (K. Helgen, pers. comm.).
