description: <i>Rhinolophus coelophyllus</i> Peters, 1867 Rhinolophus coelophyllus Peters, 1867: 426, pl. 35; Salween River = Thanlwin River, Burma = MYANMAR (Collector unknown; MNB 3143) [155]. <b>Common English name:</b> Croslet Horseshoe bat <b>Barcode Index Number:</b> DNA barcodes recorded as <i>R</i>. <i>coelophyllus</i> are associated with the BIN, BOLD: ACE 9393, but there are no DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia. <b>Remarks:</b> <i>R</i>. <i>shameli</i> was previously considered a subspecies of <i>R</i>. <i>coelophyllus</i> [156] but the examination of specimens from Thailand and Cambodia suggested that they are distinct species on the basis of the smaller size of <i>R</i>. <i>coelophyllus</i> and a differently shaped rostral part of the skull [157]. Our search of BOLD found that the two names are associated with different BINs. DNA barcodes recorded as <i>R</i>. <i>shameli</i> are associated with three BINs, BOLD:AAB4877, BOLD: AAB4878 and BOLD:ABY7284 (The BIN, BOLD:ABY7284 also contained DNA barcodes of <i>R</i>. <i>stheno</i> and therefore, may be erroneous) whereas DNA barcodes recorded as <i>R</i>. <i>coelophyllus</i> are associated with one BIN, BOLD:ACE9393. Specimens labelled as <i>R</i>. <i>shameli</i> from Kedah (BM(NH) 1898.10.1.1) and Pulau Langkawi (BM(NH) 1968.821 and BM(NH) 1968.822) are smaller and represent <i>R</i>. <i>coelophyllus</i> [157]. <b>IUCN status:</b> Least Concern <b>Recorded at: Kedah</b>: Pulau Langkawi and mainland Kedah [23]; <b>Perlis</b>: mainland Perlis [23], Wang Kelian State Park, [50]; <b>Selangor</b>: Bukit Kutu Wildlife Reserve [51]. <i>R</i>. <i>coelophyllus</i> has been recorded in forests near limestone hills and once in a house, and roosts in limestone caves in large colonies with hundreds of individuals [14, 23].
