description: <i>Nycteris tragata</i> [Andersen, 1912] <i>Petalia tragata</i> Andersen, 1912: 546; Bidi Caves, Sarawak, Borneo, MALAYSIA (Cecil J. Brooks, Esq., presenter; BM(NH) 1903.3.31.1) [109]. <i>Nycteris tragata</i> [8]. <b>Common English name:</b> Malayan Slit-faced Bat <b>Barcode Index Number:</b> BOLD: AAD 1297 (5 DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia; Fig 3) <b>Remarks:</b> Two names for bats in the genus <i>Nycteris</i>, <i>N</i>. <i>javanica</i> and <i>N</i>. <i>tragata</i>, have been used in Peninsular Malaysia. All records of <i>N</i>. <i>javanica</i> in Peninsular Malaysia are from old reports dated before the year 2000 [23, 41, 42, 43, 45, 57]. <i>N</i>. <i>tragata</i> was considered a synonym of <i>N</i>. <i>javanica</i> by Medway [23]. The taxa were later considered to be distinct with <i>N</i>. <i>javanica</i> being confined to Java and some of the surrounding islands [110] whereas <i>N</i>. <i>tragata</i> occurs in Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo [11, 110]. In this checklist, we treat previous reports of <i>N</i>. <i>javanica</i> as reports of <i>N</i>. <i>tragata</i> and recognise only one species, <i>N</i>. <i>tragata</i>, occurring in Peninsular Malaysia. <b>IUCN status:</b> Near Threatened <b>Recorded at: Pahang</b>: Krau Wildlife Reserve [11], Kuala Atok, National Park [44], Lata Bujang Forest Reserve [56], Jengka [100]; <b>Perlis</b>: Wang Kelian State Park [50]; <b>Johor:</b> Endau- Kota Tinggi Forest Reserve [56]; <b>Kelantan</b>: Air Panas-Gua Musang [61]; <b>Melaka</b>: Unspecified [68]; <b>Negeri Sembilan</b>: Gunung Angsi Forest Reserve [100, 101]; <b>Selangor</b>: Semangkok Forest Reserve [101]; <b>Perak</b>: Temengor Forest Reserve [111]; <b>Kedah</b>: Bukit Hijau [100]. <i>N</i>. <i>tragata</i> is confined to mature primary forests and roosts in small groups in hollowed trees, caves, crevices of large boulders and man-made hollows such as culverts [11, 14].
