Hipposideros lylei Thomas, 1913

Hipposideros lylei Thomas, 1913: 88 ; Chiendao Cave, 50 miles north of Chiang Mai, THAI- LAND, 350 meter (Th. H. Lyle, Esq., presenter; BM(NH) 1913.4.18.3) [ 137].

Common English name: Shield-faced Roundleaf Bat

Barcode Index Number: BOLD: AAI 8290 (1 DNA barcode from Peninsular Malaysia). Another two DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia were not associated with any BINs ( Fig 4 ).

Remarks: H. lylei was once considered to be conspecific with H. pratti [ 138]. Although Tate [ 139] commented that H. pratti is known from mountainous parts of lower Peninsular Malaysia, we could not find any other records of the species in Peninsular Malaysia. Consequently, we did not include H. pratti in this checklist.

IUCN status: Least Concern

Recorded at: Perak: Gunung Tempurung (ABBSI053-04 –ABBSI055-04 [ 4]); Pahang: Krau Wildlife Reserve [ 11], Bukit Chintamani [ 23]; Kedah: Unspecified caves [ 23]; Perlis: Wang Tangga, Kaki Bukit [ 140].

H. lylei roosts primarily in limestone caves and has been recorded in lowland forests [ 11, 14, 23].

Fig 4. Neighbour-joining tree showing all available DNA barcodes for species in family Hipposideridae reported from Peninsular Malaysia. The percentage of pseudoreplicate trees (±70%) in which the DNA barcodes clustered together in the bootstrap test (500 pseudoreplicates) are shown above the branches. Abbreviation as follows: PM = Peninsular Malaysia,VN = Vietnam, BN = Borneo (including Sabah & Sarawak of East Malaysia, Brunei and Kalimantan Indonesia), TH = Thailand, LA = Laos, SM = Sumatera Indonesia, CH = China, CM = Cambodia. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0179555.g004
