Comments

This species was captured in harp-traps set in forest at all of the four formations, and was distinguished from K. intermedia by body mass (2 g) and short skull (CBL 10.16–10.36 mm). This Near Threatened (Hutson et al., 2001), forest specialist ( Kingston et al., 2003) has been reported from forested sites throughout Sabah, and sympatrically with K. intermedia in Central Kalimantan and Sarawak ( Boitani et al., 2006), but appears to be much rarer than K. intermedia .
