Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: This widespread species ranges from southern and northern South Asia, southern China, and throughout continental and insular Southeast Asia. In South Asia, this species is presently known from Bangladesh (no exact location) (Das, 2003, Srinivasulu and Srinivasulu, 2005), India (Assam, Jammu and Kashmir, Karnataka, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and West Bengal), Pakistan (Punjab) and Sri Lanka (Central Province) (Srinivasulu et al. in press). In China, it is widely distributed in the southeast of the country, including the island of Hainan. In Southeast Asia, it is found throughout the mainland, in insular Southeast Asia it ranges from Indonesia (the Mentawi Islands [Siberut and Sipura], Sumatra, Java, Bali, Kangean, Nusa Penida, Lombok, Sumba, Sulawesi, Pelang, Banggi, Karakelang), to the island of Borneo (Brunei, Indonesia and Malaysia) to the Philippines, where it has been recorded from the islands of Biliran, Leyte, Luzon (Camarines Sur Province), Mindanao (Bukidnon Province), Palawan, and Samar (Taylor 1934; Heaney et al. 1998). Over its range, it has been recorded between 60 and 2,100 m asl.

Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: In South Asia, little is known about the habitat or ecology of this species except that it is found in warm valleys in northeast India and near paddy fields in Sri Lanka and known to roost in caves and buildings in forests (Molur et al. 2002). In China, it is found in subtropical and tropical areas, and has been collected in both forested and agricultural localities. Animals sometimes forage around houses and villages, and roost in buildings and under tile roofs on occasion (Smith and Xie 2008). In Southeast Asia, there are records from primary forest in Cambodia (G. Csorba pers. comm. 2006), dry forest including disturbed sites in Lao PDR, and hill forest in Peninsular Malaysia (Francis pers. comm. 2006). On Banggi Island (Indonesia) the species was found roosting in the axil of a rattan vine leaf. In the Philippines, it has been recorded in lowland, montane, and ridgetop mossy forest (Rickart et al. 1993). On Palawan Island, there are records from a bamboo thicket at 60 m and primary lowland forest at 650 m (Esselstyn et al. 2004).
Systems: Terrestrial
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): There appear to be no major threats to this somewhat adaptable species.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: In South Asia, although there are no direct conservation measures in place, the species has been recorded from protected areas in India like Siju Wildlife Sanctuary in Meghalaya. It has been recorded from protected areas in parts of Southeast Asia. Further studies are needed into the taxonomy of this species.
