description: <i>Glischropus tylopus</i> [Dobson, 1875] <i>Vesperugo tylopus</i> Dobson, 1875: 473; Sabah, north Borneo, MALAYSIA (Collector unknown; BM(NH) 70.2.10.2) [199]. <i>Glischropus tylopus</i> [191]. <b>Common English name:</b> Thick-thumbed Pipistrelle <b>Barcode Index Number:</b> Two DNA barcodes (RONP 009-14 and RONP 024-14) which are from Perak, Peninsular Malaysia are not assigned with any BIN due to their short sequence length (<i>&lt;</i> 500bp). However, other DNA barcodes recorded as <i>G</i>. <i>tylopus</i> which were collected in Vietnam and Laos are associated with the BIN, BOLD: AAC 0085. <b>Remarks:</b> All DNA barcodes (BIN, BOLD:AAC0085) recorded as <i>G</i>. <i>tylopus</i> from Vietnam and Laos (= Indochina) represent <i>G</i>. <i>bucephalus</i> which was recently described on the basis of longer forearms and distinctive cranial features [200]. Another species from Sumatra, Indonesia, <i>G</i>. <i>aquilus</i> is distinct from <i>G</i>. <i>tylopus</i> collected in Peninsular Malaysia on the basis of its darker colour and 12.4% divergence in cytochrome <i>b</i> mtDNA [201]. It is likely that the form occurring in Peninsular Malaysia represents <i>G</i>. <i>tylopus</i> sensu stricto based on the comparison of specimens from Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah = type locality (see Fig 6 in [201]). We did not perform any NJ analysis for <i>G</i>. <i>tylopus</i> as the DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia are too short for comparison with other barcodes. <b>IUCN status:</b> Least Concern <b>Recorded at: Pahang</b>: Krau Wildlife Reserve [11], Tasik Chini [43], Tasik Bera Forest Reserve [56]; <b>Selangor</b>: Bukit Lanjan [40], Bukit Kutu Wildlife Reserve [51], Ulu Gombak [53, 54], Semangkok Forest Reserve [101]; <b>Kedah</b>: Ulu Muda Forest Reserve [57]; <b>Kelantan</b>: Air Panas-Gua Musang [61], Gua Musang [62]; <b>Perak</b>: Temengor Forest Reserve [111]. <i>G</i>. <i>tylopus</i> is a lowland forest inhabitant but has been recorded in hill forest [11, 14, 23]. Individuals have been found roosting in small groups in internodes of dead and broken bamboo, and sometimes in rock crevices and banana leaves, occasionally with <i>Tylonycteris</i> species [11, 14].
