description: <i>Balionycterisseimundi</i> Kloss, 1921 <i>Balionycteris maculata seimundi</i> Kloss, 1921: 229. Junction of Tahan and Teku rivers, foot of Gunung Tahan, Pahang, MALAYSIA (E. Seimund, collector; MNM 1 /21) [39]. <i>Balionycteris maculata</i> [8]. <b>Common English name:</b> Spotted-winged Fruit Bat <b>Barcode Index Number:</b> BOLD:AAB7907 (14 DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia; Fig 2). <b>Remarks:</b> Originally described as a subspecies of <i>B</i>. <i>maculata</i> [9]. Khan et al. [32] reported a high genetic distance (12%) in cytochrome <i>b</i> mtDNA between <i>B</i>. <i>maculata</i> sensu lato populations in Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo and consequently raised <i>B</i>. <i>seimundi</i> as a distinct species. The same pattern was also observed in COI mtDNA (Fig 2; also see Fig 2 in [4]). Following Khan et al. [32], the name of the taxon in Peninsular Malaysia should be updated to <i>B</i>. <i>seimundi</i>. <b>IUCN status:</b> Least Concern <b>Recorded at:</b> As <i>B</i>. <i>maculata</i>: <b>Pahang</b>: Gunung Tahan [39], Merapoh [40], Krau Wildlife Reserve [11, 41, 42], Tasik Chini [43], Kuala Atok National Park [44]; <b>Negeri Sembilan</b>: Pasoh Forest Reserve [45]; <b>Perak</b>: Temengor Forest Reserve [46, 47], Royal Belum State Park [48], Bayor River-Rantau Panjang [49]; <b>Perlis</b>: Wang Kelian State Park [50]; <b>Selangor</b>: Bukit Lanjan [40], Bangi Forest Reserve [41], Bukit Kutu Wildlife Reserve [51], Ulu Gombak [52 – 54], Air Hitam Forest Reserve [55], Sungai Dusun Forest Reserve and Lata Bujang Forest Reserve [56]; <b>Johor:</b> Endau-Kota Tinggi Forest Reserve [56]; <b>Kedah</b>: Ulu Muda Forest Reserve [57]. <i>B</i>. <i>seimundi</i> tends to roost in small harem groups in sites with bell-shaped cavities and smooth surfaces [11]. Individuals have also been found roosting in crowns of palms, clumps of epiphytic ferns, arboreal ant nests, hollowed arboreal termite nests and hollowed detached large branches [11, 14, 23].
