description: <i>Harpiocephalus harpia</i> [Temminck, 1840] <i>Vespertilio harpia</i> Temminck, 1840: 219, pls. 55; Southeast side of Mountain Gede, Java, INDONESIA (Collector unknown; Type unknown) [82]. <i>Harpiocephalus harpia</i> [191]. <b>Common English name:</b> Hairy-winged Bat <b>Barcode Index Number:</b> DNA barcodes recorded as <i>H</i>. <i>harpia</i> are associated with BIN, BOLD:AAB5424, but there are no DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia. <b>Remarks:</b> <i>H</i>. <i>mordax</i> was once considered a subspecies of <i>H</i>. <i>harpia</i> [138] but was later recognised as a distinct species having “a more robust skull and larger teeth” compared to <i>H</i>. <i>harpia</i> [173]. Two male and three female specimens from Java recorded as <i>H</i>. <i>harpia</i> were later re-examined, and the degree of dimorphism observed among the specimens was small when compared to the differences observed in rostral and tooth size between <i>H</i>. <i>harpia</i> and <i>H</i>. <i>mordax</i> [9]. Matveev [192] noted that all specimens of <i>H</i>. <i>mordax</i> used in earlier studies are females and a molecular analysis of a male <i>“ harpia ”</i> and a female “ <i>mordax ”</i> from Cambodia indicated that the specimens were conspecific, consequently eliminating the occurrence of <i>H</i>. <i>mordax</i> in Cambodia. Two female specimens from Peninsular Malaysia (field ID.: CMF930806.7 and CMF930807.2) were identified as “ <i>H</i>. <i>mordax</i> ” based on their broader skull and large teeth by Francis [71]. Francis later stated that <i>H</i>. <i>harpia</i> is the only species that occurs in Southeast Asia with sexual dimorphism in size [14]. Following the current consensus, all records of <i>H</i>. <i>mordax</i> from Peninsular Malaysia should be updated to <i>H</i>. <i>harpia</i>. <b>IUCN status:</b> Least Concern <b>Recorded at:</b> <b>Pahang:</b> Fraser Hill Forest Reserve [56]. Previously recorded as <i>H</i>. <i>mordax</i> at: <b>Pahang</b>: Krau Wildlife Reserve [11], National Park [193]; <b>Perak</b>: Temengor Forest Reserve [46, 47, 71]. The roosting ecology of <i>H</i>. <i>harpia</i> remains unknown due to its rarity but the species has been recorded in forests with hilly terrains [11].
