description: <i>Kerivoula lenis</i> Thomas, 1916 <i>Kerivoula lenis</i> Thomas, 1916: 416; Calcutta, Bengal, INDIA (J. T. Pearson, presenter; BM (NH) 1879.11.21.126) [178]. <b>Common English name:</b> Indian Woolly Bat <b>Barcode Index Number:</b> BOLD: AAD 4874 (3 DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia; Fig 6) <b>Remarks:</b> <i>K</i>. <i>lenis</i> was previously considered as a subspecies of <i>K</i>. <i>papillosa</i> [171] but was later raised as a distinct species [98, 176]. Douangboubpha et al. [170] reported three distinct clusters of <i>K</i>. <i>papillosa</i> based on NJ analyses at COI mtDNA (<i>K</i>. <i>papillosa</i> A, Band C) in Thailand of which <i>K</i>. <i>lenis</i> from Peninsular Malaysia (BIN, BOLD:AAD4874) is clustered with <i>K</i>. <i>papillosa</i> C. <i>K</i>. <i>lenis</i> from Peninsular Malaysia has been reported to be 5.33% divergent from <i>K</i>. <i>lenis</i> from Borneoand <i>&gt;</i> 14% divergentfrom <i>K</i>. cf. <i>lenis</i> from Laos [4, 169, 170]. Whether the taxon occurring in Peninsular Malaysia represents <i>K</i>. <i>lenis</i> sensu stricto remains to be determined due to the lack of comparative materials from the type locality, India [170]. Our NJ analysis (Fig 6) revealed three clusters of DNA barcodes recorded as <i>K</i>. <i>lenis</i> and <i>K</i>. cf. <i>lenis</i> associated with three BINs, BOLD:AAC9530, BOLD:AAD4873 and BOLD:AAD4874. <b>IUCN status:</b> Least Concern <b>Recorded at:</b> <b>Pahang</b>: Krau Wildlife Reserve [32]; <b>Negeri Sembilan</b>: Pasoh Forest Reserve (specimen BM (NH) 1988.46). <i>K</i>. <i>lenis</i> has been recorded in understory of forest [14].
