description: <i>Rhinolophus lepidus</i> Blyth, 1844 Rhinolophus lepidus Blyth, 1844: 486; Calcutta, INDIA (Collector unknown; Type unknown) [160]. <i>Rhinolophus refulgens</i> Andersen, 1905: 124, pl. 4; Gunung Igari, Perak, MALAYSIA, 2000 ft. (A. L. Butlerm Esq., presenter; BM(NH) 1898.11.29.2) [161]. <i>Rhinolophus lepidus refulgens</i> [9]. <b>Common English name:</b> Blyth’s Horseshoe Bat <b>Barcode Index Number:</b> BOLD:AAB9127 (5 DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia; Fig 5) <b>Remarks:</b> DNA barcodes of <i>R</i>. <i>lepidus</i> are associated with three BINs (BOLD:AAB9127, BOLD:ABZ1016 and BOLD:ABZ2266; Fig 5). The BIN, BOLD:ABZ1016 contains DNA barcodes recorded as <i>R</i>. <i>lepidus</i> and <i>R</i>. <i>pusillus</i>. Some authors considered <i>R</i>. <i>refulgens</i> as a subspecies of <i>R</i>. <i>lepidus</i> [9, 11, 12] while some considered them to be distinct [50, 67]. Our NJ analysis (Fig 5) suggested that the DNA barcodes recorded as <i>R</i>. <i>lepidus</i> from Peninsular Malaysia may be distinct from DNA barcodes recorded as <i>R</i>. <i>lepidus</i> from Indochina. Similarly, Bumrungsri et al. [162] commented that <i>R</i>. <i>lepidus</i> from Peninsular Malaysia may represent a distinct taxon and the appropriate name would be <i>R</i>. <i>refulgens</i> based on the type locality. Due to the lack of DNA barcodes from the type locality of <i>R</i>. <i>lepidus</i>, India for comparison, we could not determine if DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia represent the nominate <i>R</i>. <i>lepidus</i> or <i>R</i>. <i>refulgens</i>. Consequently, we tentatively retained only the name <i>R</i>. <i>lepidus</i> in this checklist (Fig 5). <b>IUCN status:</b> Least Concern <b>Recorded at: Pahang</b>: Krau Wildlife Reserve [11, 42], Kuala Atok, National Park [44], Lata Bujang Forest Reserve [56], Cameron Highland [60], Pulau Tioman [79], Bukit Ibam, Kemasul, Jengka, Klau Besar, Kenong and Gunung Aais [100]; <b>Terengganu</b>: Pasir Raja, Dungun [15], Tasik Kenyir [69], Gunung Tebu Forest Reserve [101]; <b>Perak</b>: Temengor Forest Reserve [46, 47, 111], Temenggor Lake [69]; <b>Perlis</b>: Wang Kelian State Park, [50], Gunung Stong State Park [100]; <b>Selangor</b>: Bukit Kutu Wildlife Reserve [51], Semangkok Forest Reserve [101]; <b>Johor</b>: Endau-Kota Tinggi Forest Reserve [56], Labis Forest Reserve [100]; <b>Kedah</b>: Ulu Muda Forest Reserve [57, 100], Bukit Hijau [100]; <b>Kelantan</b>: Air Panas-Gua Musang [61], Gunung Reng and Gua Musang [62]; <b>Melaka</b>: Unspecified [68]; <b>Pulau Pinang</b>: Bukit Panchor [100]; <b>Negeri Sembilan</b>: Gunung Angsi Forest Reserve [100, 101], Berembun Forest Reserve [101]. As <i>R</i>. <i>refulgens</i>: <b>Perak</b>: Maxwell Hill [23]; <b>Pahang</b>: Pulau Tioman [23], Krau Wildlife Reserve [41]; <b>Johor</b>: Pulau Pemanggil and Pulau Aur [23]; <b>Negeri Sembilan</b>: Pasoh Forest Reserve [45]; <b>Kelantan</b>: Gunung Stong State Park [67]. <i>R</i>. <i>lepidus</i> inhabits mature lowland and hill forests and has been reported roosting in caves and rock crevices, often with <i>R</i>. <i>stheno</i> [11, 14]
