Abstract

During 1988/89 a collection of bats were made in 7 localities in Selangor and Pahang, Peninsular Malaysia. A total of 101 specimens were collected comprising 16 species representing 4 families. Four species are fruit bats (Megachiroptera) and 12 are insectivorous bats (Microcbiroptera). All except 1 of the bat species are common. The exception is a male Hesperoplenus doriae, a very rare bat, and this represents the second authenticated record of this species in Peninsular Malaysia and the third specimen of tbis bat in museum collections in the world. Some of the species recorded in this report also represent new locality records for Peninsular Malaysia.
