description: <i>Myotis federatus</i> Thomas, 1916 <i>Myotis peytoni federatus</i> Thomas, 1916: 3; Semangko Paas, MALAYSIA, 2700 ft (Collector unknown; BM(NH) 1916.4.20.5) [178]. <i>Myotis montivagus federatus</i> [9]. <i>Myotis federatus</i> [35]. <b>Barcode Index Number:</b> There are no DNA barcodes recorded under this name on BOLD. DNA barcodes recorded as <i>M</i>. <i>montivagus</i> are associated with two BINs, BOLD: AAC 5917 and BOLD: AAU 0309, but there are no DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia. <b>Remarks:</b> <i>M</i>. <i>federatus</i> was previousy considered to be a subspecies of <i>M</i>. <i>montivagus</i> [9] based on dental characters [213]. Görföl et al. [35], however, noted that <i>M</i>. <i>federatus</i> has smaller forearms, a larger skull and smaller middle upper premolars (P3). The species have distinct geographical ranges: <i>M</i>. <i>federatus</i> is confined to Peninsular Malaysia whereas <i>M</i>. <i>montivagus</i> is distributed from south China to northern Myanmar [35]. Previous records of <i>M</i>. <i>montivagus</i> from Peninsular Malaysia [1, 5, 50, 111] should be updated to <i>M</i>. <i>federatus</i> [35]. <b>IUCN status:</b> Not Evaluated but Least Concern as <i>M</i>. <i>montivagus</i>. <b>Recorded at:</b> Previously recorded as <i>M</i>. <i>montivagus</i> at: <b>Selangor</b>: Genting Semangkok [23], Batu Caves (HNHM 98.14.31 [35]), Ulu Gombak [54]; <b>Pahang</b>: Genting Highland [54]; <b>Perak</b>: Temengor Forest Reserve [46, 47]; <b>Perlis</b>: Wang Kelian State Park [50]. <i>M</i>. <i>federatus</i> has been recorded in primary and secondary forests with elevations up to 1,000 m [14].
