description: <i>Hipposideros nequam</i> Andersen, 1918 (?) <i>Hipposideros nequam</i> Andersen, 1918: 380, 381; Klang, Selangor, MALAYSIA (W. Davison, collector; BM(NH) 1885.8.1.369) [117]. <b> <i>Common English name</i>:</b> Malay Roundleaf Bat <b>Barcode Index Number:</b> There are no DNA barcodes recorded under this name on BOLD. <b>IUCN status:</b> Data Deficient <b>Remarks:</b> If valid, the species is extremely rare [42, 125] with only two reports from Peninsular Malaysia: Klang (the holotype) and Krau Wildlife Reserve [42]. However, the record from Krau Wildlife Reserve [42] is questionable due to the lack of information regarding the species identification and the absence of any specimens in the DWNP collection. Moreover, Kingston et al. [11] did not report this species in Krau Wildlife Reserve. The fact that the holotype is damaged remains another challenge to resolve the status of <i>H</i>. <i>nequam</i> [14, 23]. Tate [122] noted that <i>H</i>. <i>nequam</i> resembles <i>H</i>. <i>bicolor</i> in forearm length but differs by having greatly reduced anterior lower premolar. Hill [141] also noted the similarities in cranial structure between <i>H</i>. <i>nequam</i> and <i>H</i>. <i>(bicolor) atrox</i>. He further commented that <i>H</i>. <i>nequam</i> has a similar but slightly different cranial structure with “more inflated rostral eminences, shorter, broader premaxillae, blade-like vomer and greatly reduced anterior lower premolar” and larger than <i>H</i>. <i>bicolor</i> [141]. It is likely that <i>H</i>. <i>nequam</i> is a synonym of either <i>H</i>. <i>bicolor</i> or <i>H</i>. <i>atrox</i> (CM Francis, personal communication) but based on the slight differences between the types of <i>H</i>. <i>nequam</i> and <i>H</i>. <i>bicolor</i> as reported by Hill [141] and the locality of the holotype, we tentatively retained the species in our checklist. <b>Recorded at:</b> <b>Pahang</b>: Krau Wildlife Reserve [42](?); <b>Selangor</b>: Klang [117].
