Comments Three individuals were captured in harp- traps set in forest at Tabalar and Tintang for- mations. This species is a medium-sized Kerivoula distinguished by skull size, ear length (always longer than K. intermedia and K. minuta) and uniform grey fur colour. Specimens collected at Tabalar are smaller in size (FA 29.7–30.2 mm) than those listed from Sabah (32–34 mm) by Payne et al. (2000) and Central Kalimantan (30.7–33.2 mm) by Struebig et al. (2006 b). This species has been recorded from scattered localities in all of the Bornean states and is considered a forest specialist (Boitani et al., 2006).Published as part of Suyanto, Agustinus & Struebig, Matthew J., 2007, Bats of the Sangkulirang limestone karst formations, East Kalimantan - a priority region for Bornean bat conservation, pp. 67-95 in Acta Chiropterologica 9 (1) on page 90, DOI: 10.3161/1733-5329(2007)9[67:botslk]2.0.co;2, http://zenodo.org/record/394460

Struebig, unpublished data). Comments Two individuals were captured in harp- traps set in forest understorey at Tabalar and Tintang formations. Kerivoula papil- losa is the largest of the Bornean Kerivoula. Two size morphs are currently recognized in Peninsular Malaysia (Kingston et al., 2006) and Central Kalimantan (Struebig et al. 2006 b). At the latter site, the smaller morph is referred to as K. lenis following cranial measurements discussed in Vani- tharani et al., (2003). Specimens collect- ed at Sangkulirang have a forearm length of 44.7–46.7 mm, and represent the larger K. papillosa following cranial-dental de- scriptions in Vanitharani et al. (2003). Fur- ther taxonomic and phylogenetic study of K. papillosa and other Kerivoula is needed. Kerivoula papillosa is considered a forest specialist (Kingston et al., 2003) and is known principally from scattered localities Sabah, Sarawak and Brunei. Recent surveys have also recorded it from several forested sites in Kalimantan.Published as part of Suyanto, Agustinus & Struebig, Matthew J., 2007, Bats of the Sangkulirang limestone karst formations, East Kalimantan - a priority region for Bornean bat conservation, pp. 67-95 in Acta Chiropterologica 9 (1) on pages 89-90, DOI: 10.3161/1733-5329(2007)9[67:botslk]2.0.co;2, http://zenodo.org/record/394460

Comments This species was captured in harp-traps set in forest at all of the four formations, and was distinguished from K. intermedia by body mass (2 g) and short skull (CBL 10.16–10.36 mm). This Near Threatened (Hutson et al., 2001), forest specialist (Kingston et al., 2003) has been reported from forested sites throughout Sabah, and sympatrically with K. intermedia in Central Kalimantan and Sarawak (Boitani et al., 2006), but appears to be much rarer than K. intermedia.Published as part of Suyanto, Agustinus & Struebig, Matthew J., 2007, Bats of the Sangkulirang limestone karst formations, East Kalimantan - a priority region for Bornean bat conservation, pp. 67-95 in Acta Chiropterologica 9 (1) on pages 90-91, DOI: 10.3161/1733-5329(2007)9[67:botslk]2.0.co;2, http://zenodo.org/record/394460
Balionycteris maculata

Comments Three individuals were captured in harp- traps set across an old logging skid on the lower slopes of the Tabalar formation. Previously this species was only known from scattered localities in Sabah, Brunei, Sarawak and West Kalimantan. Recent sur- veys have confirmed its presence in more southern localities in Central and East Kalimantan, and together with this study, extend the known SAMD distribution southwards by 400 km. It is considered primarily a for- est species and is known to roost in small groups in palm crowns, epiphytic ferns, small cavities and arboreal ant and termite nests (Kingston et al., 2006). Balionycteris maculata is therefore likely to be more widespread in Borneo than was previously thought, but probably confined to forested areas.Published as part of Suyanto, Agustinus & Struebig, Matthew J., 2007, Bats of the Sangkulirang limestone karst formations, East Kalimantan - a priority region for Bornean bat conservation, pp. 67-95 in Acta Chiropterologica 9 (1) on page 71, DOI: 10.3161/1733-5329(2007)9[67:botslk]2.0.co;2, http://zenodo.org/record/394460
Nycteris tragata

Struebig, unpublished data). Comments A single male individual was captured in a harp-trap set across a rudimentary trail in disturbed forest at the Marang formation. This represents the first record of this spe- cies in East Kalimantan (it was later cap- tured at Sungai Lesan in 2005). It is consid- ered a forest specialist where it is known to roost under hollow fallen trees, as well as limestone caves (Kingston et al., 2006). In Borneo, Nycteris specimens were previous- ly considered to represent N. javanica (Cor- bet and Hill, 1992; Payne et al., 2000), but have recently been revised to N. tragata (Simmons, 2005). Pooled records for both names suggest it is currently recorded from forests in all states except West Kalimantan.Published as part of Suyanto, Agustinus & Struebig, Matthew J., 2007, Bats of the Sangkulirang limestone karst formations, East Kalimantan - a priority region for Bornean bat conservation, pp. 67-95 in Acta Chiropterologica 9 (1) on pages 83-84, DOI: 10.3161/1733-5329(2007)9[67:botslk]2.0.co;2, http://zenodo.org/record/394460
Murina suilla

Comments A male individual was captured in a harp-trap set across an old logging skid at Tabalar. Murina suilla is the smallest of the Bornean Murina and can also be recognised externally by fur colour. This species is con- sidered a forest specialist (Kingston et al., 2003), and has been recorded in harp-trap surveys throughout Sabah and at a few lo- calities in Sarawak. There are few records from Kalimantan, most likely because of limited use of harp-traps.Published as part of Suyanto, Agustinus & Struebig, Matthew J., 2007, Bats of the Sangkulirang limestone karst formations, East Kalimantan - a priority region for Bornean bat conservation, pp. 67-95 in Acta Chiropterologica 9 (1) on page 89, DOI: 10.3161/1733-5329(2007)9[67:botslk]2.0.co;2, http://zenodo.org/record/394460
Myotis horsfieldii
No full textMyotis horsfieldii (Temminck, 1840) Horsfield’s myotis New material 5♂♂ (MZB M26350 / 26726 / 26755 / 26832 / 26833); 5♀♀ (MZB M26756 / 26760 / 26790 / 26800 / 26808). Records from Borneo Sabah: Danum Valley, Gomantong, Ma- dai, Sukau, Tepadong (Payne et al., 2000). Sarawak: Mulu NP, Niah NP (Payne et al., 2000). EastKal: Sungai Wain PF (Struebig et al., 2006 a). Comments Eight individuals were captured in harp- traps set across old logging skids on the slopes of the Tabalar formation. This spe- cies is distinguished from most other Myotis by the wing membrane being attached at the side of the foot. It is known to roost in crevices and bell-holes in caves and is asso- ciated with large areas of water (Payne et al., 2000). These authors report M. hors- fieldii from most lowland areas in Sabah and Sarawak, and the SAMD regard this species as widely distributed over much of Borneo. However, apart from a further re- cord from Sungai Wain in 2005, as far as we are aware, the Tabalar records are the first report of this species occurring in Kali- mantan.Published as part of Suyanto, Agustinus & Struebig, Matthew J., 2007, Bats of the Sangkulirang limestone karst formations, East Kalimantan - a priority region for Bornean bat conservation, pp. 67-95 in Acta Chiropterologica 9 (1) on pages 87-88, DOI: 10.3161/1733-5329(2007)9[67:botslk]2.0.co;2, http://zenodo.org/record/394460

Pio, unpublished data); Riam (Payne et al., 2000); Sebangau NP, Tanjung Puting NP (Struebig et al., 2006 b). Comments A male individual was captured in a harp-trap set in the forest understorey at Tabalar, and was easily distinguished from other Bornean Kerivoula by its near translucent wings and ear length (15.0 mm). It is considered a forest specialist (Kingston et al., 2003) with scattered distribution over Borneo (Boitani et al., 2006). However, as far as we are aware this is the first record for East Kalimantan.Published as part of Suyanto, Agustinus & Struebig, Matthew J., 2007, Bats of the Sangkulirang limestone karst formations, East Kalimantan - a priority region for Bornean bat conservation, pp. 67-95 in Acta Chiropterologica 9 (1) on page 90, DOI: 10.3161/1733-5329(2007)9[67:botslk]2.0.co;2, http://zenodo.org/record/394460
Hipposideros bicolor
No full textHipposideros bicolor (Temminck, 1834) Bicolored roundleaf bat New material 3♂♂ (MZB M26785 / 26786 / 26817); 3♀♀ (MZB M26365 / 26366 / 26754). Records from Borneo Brunei: Batu Apoi NP (Kofron, 2002). Sabah: Danum Valley, Gomantong, Sukau (Payne et al., 2000). Sarawak: Mulu NP (Payne et al., 2000); Bau limestone forma- tions (Mohd-Azlan et al., 2005). CentKal: Barito Ulu Research Area (D. Pio, unpub- lished data). EastKal: Sungai Lesan PF (M. J. Struebig, unpublished data). Comments Individuals were captured in harp-traps set across forest trails at Marang and Tintang formations. With the exception of more recent records from Barito Ulu and Sungai Lesan, the confirmation of this spe- cies in Sangkulirang is an important new record for Kalimantan. Elsewhere in Borneo it is known from only a few scattered localities in Brunei, Sabah and Sarawak where it is known to roost in caves and tunnels. In Peninsular Malaysia H. bicolor is represented by two phonic types that exhibit genetic and acoustic divergence, but morphological overlap (Kingston et al., 2001). All individ- uals captured at Sangkulirang resemble the 131 kHz phonic type based on subtle differ- ences in noseleaf shape and forearm length, 45.5–47.8 mm (M. J. Struebig, personal ob- servation following Kingston et al., 2006), but this can only be confirmed by genetic analysis or call recordings.Published as part of Suyanto, Agustinus & Struebig, Matthew J., 2007, Bats of the Sangkulirang limestone karst formations, East Kalimantan - a priority region for Bornean bat conservation, pp. 67-95 in Acta Chiropterologica 9 (1) on page 80, DOI: 10.3161/1733-5329(2007)9[67:botslk]2.0.co;2, http://zenodo.org/record/394460
Rhinolophus pusillus Temminck 1834
No full textRhinolophus pusillus Temminck, 1834 Least horseshoe bat New material 2♂♂ (MZB M26746 / 26747), 2♀♀ (MZB M26748 / 26764). Records from Borneo Sabah: Maliau Basin (Yasuma and An- dau, 2000). EastKal: Sungai Karangan (Sangkulirang peninsula); Gunung Kom- beng (Yasuma, 1994); Sungai Lesan PF (M. J. Struebig, unpublished data). Comments This species was captured in abundance in harp-traps set at the Tabalar, Marang and Tintang formations, and was found roosting in disturbed and undisturbed caves at each of the sites (Table 1). Elsewhere in Borneo it is only known from a few sites in Sabah and East Kalimantan, with the type locality being at the Karangan river on the south of the Sangkulirang peninsula. Sangkulirang is still a stronghold for this species which has a limited distribution in Borneo. We found little morphological variation among specimens from Sang- kulirang and those from Indochina in the HZM, but suggest further taxonomic study comparing to species such as R. lepidus and R. refulgens. From external observations, the connecting process of the Sangkulirang R. pusillus is distinct from R. lepidus captured in Peninsular Malaysia (M. J. Struebig, personal observation), by being more acute in its triangular shape, as reported by Csorba et al. (2003). However, we have been unable to compare speci- mens directly. Eight subspecies of R. pusil- lus are recognised (reviewed in Csorba et al., 2003), so it is likely that phylogenetic analysis will be more informative, and may suggest specific differences as has been pro- posed in Lao PDR (Francis et al., 1999).Published as part of Suyanto, Agustinus & Struebig, Matthew J., 2007, Bats of the Sangkulirang limestone karst formations, East Kalimantan - a priority region for Bornean bat conservation, pp. 67-95 in Acta Chiropterologica 9 (1) on page 86, DOI: 10.3161/1733-5329(2007)9[67:botslk]2.0.co;2, http://zenodo.org/record/394460
