Kerivoula pellucida [Waterhouse, 1845]

Vespertilio pellucidus Waterhouse, 1845: 6 ; PHILLIPINES (H. Cuming, Esq.; Type unknown) [ 179].

Kerivoula pellucida [ 180].

Common English name: Clear-winged Woolly Bat

Barcode Index Number: BOLD: AAD 1601 (8 DNA barcodes from Peninsular Malaysia; Fig 6 )

IUCN status: Near Threatened

Recorded at: Pahang: Krau Wildlife Reserve [ 11], Kuala Atok, National Park [ 44], Tasik Bera Forest Reserve and Fraser Hill Forest Reserve [ 56], Bukit Ibam, Kemasul, Jengka, Kenong and Gunung Aais [ 100]; Negeri Sembilan: Pasoh Forest Reserve [ 45], Gunung Angsi Forest Reserve [ 100, 101], Berembun Forest Reserve [ 101]; Perak: Temengor Forest Reserve [ 46, 47, 48], Royal Belum State Park [ 66], Kledang Saiong Forest Reserve [ 100]; Perlis: Wang Kelian State Park [ 50]; Johor: Endau-Kluang Forest Reserve [ 56], Gunung Panti [ 100]; Kelantan: Air Panas-Gua Musang [ 61], Gunung Stong State Park [ 100]; Kedah: Bukit Hijau [ 100]; Selangor: Semangkok Forest Reserve and Ulu gombak [ 101]; Terengganu: Gunung Tebu Forest Reserve [ 101].

K. pellucida has been reported foraging in understory of tall forests with dense vegetation and roosting in clumps of dried leaves [ 11, 14, 23]. Captured individuals were reported roosting in tight clusters in harp traps, suggesting social bonds [ 11].
