description: <i>Miniopterus schreibersii</i> [Kuhl, 1817] <i>Vespertilio schreibersii</i> Kuhl, 1817: 185; ‘Columbäzar Höhle’, R Danube, ROMANIA (Collector unknown; Type unknown) [187] <i>Miniopterus schreibersii blepotis</i> [9, 23]. <i>Miniopterus fuliginosus</i> [33]. <b>Common English name:</b> Common Bent-winged Bat <b>Barcode Index Number:</b> DNA barcodes recorded as <i>M</i>. <i>schreibersii</i> are associated with four BINs, BOLD: AAC 3658, BOLD: ACE 8769, BOLD:AAX4032 and BOLD: AAA 995, but there are no DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia. <b>Remarks:</b> Tian et al. [188] discovered a large divergence in cytochrome <i>b</i> mtDNA among specimens of <i>M</i>. <i>schreibersii</i> from Europe, Asia and Australia, congruent with previous studies [189, 190]. The taxonomy of <i>M</i>. <i>schreibersii</i> was then revised based on molecular and geographic characters resulting in <i>M</i>. <i>schreibersii</i> sensu stricto in Europe, <i>M</i>. <i>oceanensis</i> in Australia and <i>M</i>. <i>fuliginosus</i> in Asia [188]. However, Tian et al. [188] only included specimens from Japan and China to represent “Asia”. Consequently, we retained the name <i>M</i>. <i>schreibersii</i> in our checklist following Kingston et al. [11] and Francis [14] pending further research. <b>IUCN status:</b> Near Threatened <b>Recorded at: Pahang</b>: Krau Wildlife Reserve [11], Fraser Hill [23]; <b>Perlis</b>: Kaki Bukit [23]; <b>Perak</b>: Maxwell Hill [23], Temengor Forest Reserve [46, 47]; <b>Selangor</b>: Bukit Kutu Wildlife Reserve [51], Ulu Gombak [54]; <b>Kedah</b>: Ulu Muda Forest Reserve [57]; <b>Melaka</b>: Sungai Udang Forest Reserve [68]. <i>M</i>. <i>schreibersii</i> has been recorded in primary hill and montane forests [11], and roosts in caves in large colonies, sometimes with other <i>Miniopterus</i> bats [14, 23].
