DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia, Songkhla and Hala Bala (southern Thailand) comprise one BIN, BOLD:ACF0990 (Fig 5). Nine subspecies are recognised by Simmons [98]: <i>R</i>. <i>a</i>. <i>affinis</i> (type locality: Java), <i>R</i>. <i>a</i>. <i>andamanensis</i> (type locality: South Andaman island), <i>R</i>. <i>a</i>. <i>himalayanus</i> (type locality: Mussoorie, Kumaon Division, northern India), <i>R</i>. <i>a</i>. <i>tener</i> (type locality: Pegu Division = Bago, Myanmar), <i>R</i>. <i>a</i>. <i>macrurus</i> (type locality: Taho, Karennee, Kyah State, Myanmar), <i>R</i>. <i>a</i>. <i>nesite</i> (type locality: Bunguran Island, north Natunas, Indonesia), <i>R</i>. <i>a</i>. <i>princeps</i> (type locality: Lombok, Lesser Sunda Island), <i>R</i>. <i>a</i>. <i>hainanus</i> (type locality: Pouten, Hainan Island), and <i>R</i>. <i>a</i>. <i>superans</i> (type locality: Pahang, Peninsular Malaysia). Morphology (i.e. craniodental and baculum) and molecular (i.e. COI and D-loop regions mtDNA) characteristics provide support that the taxon occurring in Peninsular Malaysia is <i>R</i>. <i>a</i>. <i>superans</i> [148]. <b>IUCN status:</b> Least Concern <b>Recorded at: Pahang</b>: Krau Wildlife Reserve [11, 41, 42], Pulau Tioman [23, 79], Merapoh [40], Tasik Chini [43], National Park [44], Tasik Bera Forest Reserve, Fraser Hill Forest Reserve and Lata Bujang Forest Reserve [56], Cameron Highland [60], Kuala Atok, Bukit Ibam, Kemasul, Jengka, Klau Besar, Kenong and Gunung Aais [100]; <b>Terengganu</b>: Pasir Raja, Dungun [15], Pulau Redang [23], Tasik Kenyir [69], Bukit Dendong [97], Gunung Tebu Forest Reserve [101]; <b>Perak</b>: Lenggong [23], Bukit Jerneh Cave and Tumang Lembing Cave [30], Temengor Forest Reserve [46 – 48], Royal Belum State Park [66], Temenggor Lake [69], Kledang Saiong Forest Reserve [100, 101]; <b>Selangor</b>: Batu Caves [23], Bukit Kutu Wildlife Reserve [51], Ulu Gombak [120]; <b>Negeri Sembilan</b>: Pasoh Forest Reserve [45], Gunung Angsi Forest Reserve [100, 101], Berembun Forest Reserve [101]; <b>Perlis</b>: Wang Kelian State Park, [50]; <b>Johor</b>: Endau-Kota Tinggi Forest Reserve [56], Gunung Panti [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], Gunung Stong State Park [67], Gunung Stong State Park [100]; <b>Melaka</b>: Unspecified [68]; <b>Pulau Pinang</b>: Bukit Panchor [100]. <i>R</i>. <i>affinis</i> inhabits both primary and secondary forests, and roosts in limestone caves [11, 14, 23].
