Description

Myotis ridleyi [Thomas, 1898]

Pipistrellus ridleyi Thomas, 1898: 361; Selangor, MALAYSIA (H. N. Ridley, collector; BM (NH) 1898.3.13.5) [220].

Myotis ridleyi [140].

Common English name: Ridley’s Myotis

Barcode Index Number: There are no DNA barcodes recorded under this name on BOLD.

IUCN status: Near Threatened

Recorded at: Pahang: Gunong Benom [140] in Krau Wildlife Reserve [11, 32]; Perak: Bukit Jerneh Cave and Tumang Lembing Cave [30], Temengor Forest Reserve [46, 47], Kledang Saiong Forest Reserve [101]; Negeri Sembilan: Pasoh Forest Reserve [45], Gunung Angsi Forest Reserve [100]; Selangor: Ulu Gombak [54]; Johor: Endau-Kluang Forest Reserve and Endau-Kota Tinggi Forest Reserve [56], Gunung Panti [100]; Kedah: Ulu Muda Forest Reserve [57].

M. ridleyi has been recorded only at understory of lowland forests, suggesting that the species is confined to forest interior. Individuals have been reported roosting in caves and under fallen logs and rocks [11, 14].
