description: <i>Myotis siligorensis</i> [Horsfield, 1855] <i>Vespertilio siligorensis</i> Horsfield, 1855: 102; Siligori, NEPAL (Brian Houghton Hodgson, collector; Type unknown) [221]. <i>Myotis siligorensis</i> [23]. <b>Common English name:</b> Small-toothed Myotis <b>Barcode Index Number:</b> DNA barcodes recorded as <i>M</i>. <i>siligorensis</i> are associated with five BINs, BOLD: AAA 9718, BOLD: AAA 9719, BOLD: AAA 9720, BOLD: AAA 9721, and BOLD: ACF1046, but there are no DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia. <b>Remarks:</b> Our NJ analysis suggested that <i>M</i>. <i>siligorensis</i> may be a species complex (S10 Fig). Simmons [98] recognised four subspecies: <i>M</i>. <i>s</i>. <i>siligorensis</i> (type locality: Nepal), <i>M</i>. <i>s</i>. <i>sowerbyi</i> (type locality: China), <i>M</i>. <i>s</i>. <i>alticraniatus</i> (type locality: Vietnam) and <i>M</i>. <i>s</i>. <i>thaianus</i> (type locality: Thailand). Whether the five BINs correspond to the described subspecies remains to be determined. <b>IUCN status:</b> Least Concern <b>Recorded at: Pahang</b>: Krau Wildlife Reserve [11, 41], Cheras Cave [23], Tasik Chini [43], Kuantan [140]; <b>Perlis</b>: Wang Kelian State Park [50]; <b>Kedah</b>: Ulu Muda Forest Reserve [57]. <i>M</i>. <i>siligorensis</i> has been recorded roosting in rock crevices and fissures in caves, often in small colonies at forest edges, in primary and secondary forests [14, 23]. Individuals have been recorded foraging near street lights at research station [11].
