description: <i>Rhinolophus stheno</i> Andersen, 1905 <i>Rhinolophus stheno</i> Andersen, 1905: 91, pl. 3; Selangor, MALAYSIA (H. N. Ridley, Esq., presenter; BM(NH) 98.3.13.1) [147]. <b>Common English name:</b> Lesser Brown Horseshoe Bat <b>Barcode Index Number:</b> DNA barcodes recorded as <i>R</i>. <i>stheno</i> are associated with two BINs, BOLD:AAO1567 and BOLD:ABY7284, but there are no DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia in these BINs. Two DNA barcodes recorded as <i>R</i>. <i>stheno</i> (BM 504-04 and BM 505-04) are from Peninsular Malaysia but are not placed in any BIN due to short sequence length (<i>&lt;</i> 500bp) Based on our NJ analysis, neither of the Peninsular Malaysia barcodes are associated with BOLD:AAO1567 or BOLD:ABY7284 (Fig 5). <b>Remarks:</b> <i>R</i>. <i>microglobosus</i> was described as a subspecies of <i>R</i>. <i>stheno</i> based on its smaller skull and globular anterior median rostral swellings [167]. The taxa were later found to be morphometrically and acoustically distinct, and <i>R</i>. <i>microglobosus</i> was consequently raised as a distinct species with a distribution covering Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos whereas <i>R</i>. <i>stheno</i> is restricted to southern Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia and central Vietnam [168]. Therefore, DNA barcodes recorded as <i>R</i>. <i>stheno</i> associated with the BIN, BOLD:AAO 1567 may represent <i>R</i>. <i>microglobosus</i>, and DNA barcodes, BM504-04 and BM505- 04 [4] may represent the <i>R</i>. <i>stheno</i> sensu stricto as they were collected at Kuala Lompat, Pahang, close to the type locality. The BIN, BOLD:ABY7284 which contains DNA barcodes recorded as <i>R</i>. <i>stheno</i> and <i>R</i>. <i>shameli</i> may be erroneous (Fig 5). <b>IUCN status:</b> Least Concern <b>Recorded at: Pahang</b>: Krau Wildlife Reserve [11, 42], Tasik Chini [43], Lata Bujang Forest Reserve [56], Cameron Highland [60], Bukit Ibam, Kemasul, Jengka, Pulau Tioman [79], Klau Besar, Kenong and Gunung Aais [100]; <b>Pulau Pinang</b>: Bukit Panchor [23, 100]; <b>Perak</b>: Temengor Forest Reserve [46, 47, 111], Royal Belum State Park [66], Kledang Saiong Forest Reserve [101]; <b>Perlis</b>: Wang Kelian State Park [50]; <b>Selangor</b>: Bukit Kutu Wildlife Reserve [51], Ulu Gombak [54, 101], Semangkok Forest Reserve [101]; <b>Kedah</b>: Ulu Muda Forest Reserve [57, 100], Bukit Hijau [100]; <b>Kelantan</b>: Air Panas-Gua Musang [61], Gua Musang [62], Gunung Stong State Park [100]; <b>Johor</b>: Gunung Panti and Labis Forest Reserve [100]; <b>Negeri Sembilan</b>: Gunung Angsi Forest Reserve [100, 101], Berembun Forest Reserve [101]; <b>Terengganu</b>: Gunung Tebu Forest Reserve [101]. <i>R</i>. <i>stheno</i> roosts in limestone caves and sometimes in smaller colonies in rock crevices and tree hollows [11, 14]. Individuals have been reported roosting with <i>R</i>. <i>lepidus</i> [11].
