description: <i>Rhinolophus chiewkweeae</i> Yoshiyuki and Lim, 2005 <i>Rhinolophus chiewkweeae</i> Yoshiyuki and Lim, 2005: 29; Gunung Ledang, Tangkak, Muar, Johor, MALAYSIA, 1276 m (Boo-Liat Lim, collector; NSMT-M 33472) [13]. <b>Common English name:</b> Chiewkwee’s Horseshoe Bat <b>Barcode Index Number:</b> There are no DNA barcodes recorded under this name on BOLD. <b>Remarks:</b> <i>R</i>. <i>pearsonii</i> is reported to occur in Peninsular Malaysia [9] although we could not find any precise locality reports. It is likely that the records of <i>R</i>. <i>pearsonii</i> from Peninsular Malaysia, if valid, may actually represent <i>R</i>. <i>chiewkweeae</i> [154]. However, our NJ analysis revealed that the DNA barcodes under these names (but not including Peninsular Malaysia specimens) were 12% divergent in COI mtDNA (see Fig 3 in [154]). <b>IUCN status:</b> Not Evaluated <b>Recorded at:</b> <b>Melaka</b>: Asahan Forest Reserve [13]; <b>Johor</b>: Gunung Ledang and Labis Forest Reserve [13]; <b>Kedah</b>: Lubok Semilan, Ulu Melaka in Pulau Langkawi and Weng Subcatchment Area in Ulu Muda Forest Reserve Forest Reserve [13]; <b>Perlis</b>: Wang Kelian State Park [50]; <b>Perak</b>: Temenggor Lake [69]; <b>Terengganu</b>: Tasik Kenyir [69], Sungai Buweh [154]. <i>R</i>. <i>chiewkweeae</i> has been reported from lowland, hill and submontane dipterocarp forests, and an island [13, 154]. In Peninsular Malaysia, all reported individuals were caught in mature and secondary dipterocarp forests [154]. The low capture rate of <i>R</i>. <i>chiewkweeae</i> suggested that the population density of the species in Peninsular Malaysia is likely to be very low [50, 154]
