- Kerivoula minuta Miller, 1898 Kerivoula minuta Miller, 1898: 321; Lay Song Hong, Trang, south THAILAND (Dr. W. L. Abbott, collector; USNM 83547) [174]. Common English name: Least Woolly Bat Barcode Index Number: BOLD: AAC 1298 (9 DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia; Fig 6) Remarks: DNA barcodes recorded as K. minuta are associated with six BINs, BOLD: AAC1296, BOLD:AAC1297, BOLD:AAC1298, BOLD:AAC1299, BOLD:ACF4510, and BOLD:ACF451 (Fig 6). Khan [175] reported 4.44% of divergence in cytochrome b mtDNA between K. minuta from Peninsular Malaysia and Malaysian Borneo (Sabah and Sarawak) with no shared haplotypes. Our NJ analysis also showed a divergence between K. minuta from Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo (Fig 6). The taxon occurring in Peninsular Malaysia represents K. minuta based on the type locality. IUCN status: Near Threatened Recorded at: Johor: Endau Rompin National Park (BM422-04 and ABRSS347-06 [4]), Gunung Panti and Labis Forest Reserve [100]; Selangor: Ulu Gombak and Hulu Langat [32]; Pahang: Krau Wildlife Reserve and Lakum [32], Kuala Atok, National Park [32, 44], Bukit Ibam, Kenong and Gunung Aais [100]; Perak: Maxwell Hill [32], Temengor Forest Reserve [46, 47], Royal Belum State Park [66]; Kedah: Bukit Hijau and Ulu Muda Forest Reserve [32, 57, 100]; Kelantan: Gua Musang [61, 62]; Negeri Sembilan: Gunung Angsi Forest Reserve [100]. K. minuta has been recorded in the understory of lowland forests and disturbed areas [14]. Kerivoulapapillosa and K. lenis. K. lenis iscloselyassociatedwith K. papillosa [9] butthe former has a smaller skull and smaller teeth, shorter muzzle and narrower palate [169, 176]. The two species are 10.85% divergent in cytochrome b mtDNA and possess unique karyotypic characters: K. papillosa has a diploid number of chromosomes = 38 and fundamental number = 54 whereas K. lenis has a diploid number of chromosomes = 38 and fundamental number = 52 [32, 175]. Analyses of COI mtDNA by Francis et al. [4] suggested that there are at least four distinct clusters among specimens recorded as K. papillosa and K. lenis. Douangboubpha et al. [170] reported that specimens from Thailand referred as K. papillosa represent five morphological forms but only three distinct clusters based on COI mtDNA analyses.
