description |
Tylonycteris or flat-headed bat is known for its taxonomic complex within this
genus. This study attempts to investigate the complexity within Tylonycteris using
morphometric approach. The result from 34 morphological characters of hierarchical tree
constructed two major groups splitting each respective Tylonycteris species into Malaysia
Peninsular and Borneo populations. It is suggested to revise the species name according to
type specimen, as proposed by recent previous study. Conservation and taxonomic status of
Tylonycteris requires immediate reassessment due to the cryptic nature of these species |
