description: <b> <i>Cynopterus</i> cf. <i>brachyotis</i></b> <b>SUNDA.</b> <i>Pachysomabrachyotis</i> Müller, 1838: 146. DeweiRiver, central Kalimantan, INDONESIA (Collector unknown; Type unknown) [63]. <i>Cynopterusbrachyotis</i> [23]. <i>Cynopterus</i> cf. <i>brachyotis</i> SUNDA [64] <b>Common English name:</b> Sunda Short-nosed Fruit Bat <b>Barcode Index Number:</b> BOLD: AAA 9800 (20 DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia; Fig 2) <b>Remarks:</b> Campbell et al. [64] reported two distinct species under <i>C</i>. <i>brachyotis</i> sensu lato with a mean divergence of 8.3% in mtDNA (combined control region and cytochrome <i>b</i>) between them. The two species are commonly annotated as <i>C</i>. cf. <i>brachyotis</i> SUNDA and <i>C</i>. cf. <i>brachyotis</i> FOREST (Fig 2). The SUNDA species is larger than the FOREST species with a longer forearm (<i>&gt;</i> 64 mm) and is abundant in highly disturbed habitat (e.g. agricultural and suburban areas) but is absent in mature forests [11, 14, 64, 65]. It is unclear which species represents <i>C</i>. <i>brachyotis</i> sensu stricto despite the cryptic taxa being widely acknowledged (N Simmons, personal communication). Medway [23] recognised three subspecies of <i>C</i>. <i>brachyotis</i> in Peninsular Malaysia: (i) <i>C</i>. <i>b</i>. <i>brachyotis</i> found in lowlands and islands in the northern part of Peninsular Malaysia, including Perak, and with a forearm length: 57–68 mm and an ear length: 14.5–18.5 mm; (ii) <i>C</i>. <i>b</i>. <i>angulatus</i> which intergrades with the nominal subspecies at the northern range and has a forearm length: 68–72 mm and an ear length: 18–22 mm; and (iii) <i>C</i>. <i>b</i>. <i>altitudinus</i> foundin the central highlands above 3, 000 ft from Gunung Brinchang, Pahang to Gunung Bunga Buah, Selangor, and with a forearm length: 60– 68 mm and an ear length: 18–21 mm. Athorough examination of all relevant types in this genus is required in order to correctly attribute currently existing Linnaean names. <b>IUCN status:</b> As <i>C</i>. <i>brachyotis</i>: Least Concern <b>Recorded at:</b> These records refer to <i>C</i>. <i>brachyotis</i> sensu lato, so may represent “SUNDA” or “FOREST”. <b>Pahang</b>: Krau Wildlife Reserve [11, 41, 42], Pulau Tioman [23, 64], Merapoh [40], Tasik Chini [43], Kuala Atok National Park [44], Gunung Brinchang [52], Lata Bujang Forest Reserve and Fraser Hill Forest Reserve [56], Cameron Highland [60], Kuala Lipis and Cherating [64]; <b>Kedah</b>: Pulau Langkawi [23], Ulu Muda Forest Reserve [57]; <b>Pulau Pinang</b>: Pulau Pinang [23]; <b>Perak</b>: Pulau Pangkor [23, 64], Temengor Forest Reserve [46, 47], Royal Belum State Park [48, 66], Bayor River-Rantau Panjang and Selama [49], Taping [64]; <b>Terengganu</b>: Pulau Redang [23], Pulau Perhentian [64]; <b>Negeri Sembilan</b>: Pasoh Forest Reserve [45]; <b>Kelantan:</b> Air Panas-Gua Musang [61], Gunung Reng, Gua Musang, and Lojing Highlands [62], Gunung Stong State Park [67]; <b>Selangor</b>: Ulu Gombak [5, 40, 52 – 54], Bukit Kemandul and Bukit Lanjan [40], Bangi Forest Reserve [41], Bukit Kutu Wildlife Reserve [51], Gunung Bunga Buah [52], Air Hitam Forest Reserve [55], Sungai Dusun [64]; <b>Perlis</b>: Wang Kelian State Park [50], Perlis State Park and Kangar [64]; <b>Johor:</b> Endau-Kluang Forest Reserve and Endau-Kota Tinggi Forest Reserve [56]; <b>Melaka:</b> Melaka town [64].
