Chironax melanocephalus (Temminck, 1825) Black-capped fruit bat New material Not collected. Records from Borneo Brunei: Upper Sungai Temburong (Payne et al., 2000). Sabah: Danum Valley, Sepilok (Payne et al., 2000). Sarawak: Kubah NP (Abdullah et al., 1997). WestKal: Betung Kerihun NP (Hariuchi, 1999); CentKal: Barito Ulu Research Area (McConkey and Chivers, 2004); EastKal: Bukit Bang- kirai, Wanariset Samboja (MZB M22612/ 22630). Comments A single individual was captured in a harp-trap set across a rudimentary trail in disturbed forest at the Marang formation. C. melanocephalus is a small fruit bat, which, in Borneo, is known only from a few records in scattered forested localities (Boitani et al., 2006). Although no speci- men was collected, we distinguished this species by the presence of two pairs of lower incisors and distinct black fur on the head and neck as reported elsewhere in its range. Recent surveys have confirmed its presence in Sarawak and Kalimantan, so it is likely to be more widely distributed than was previously thought, but rare, and con- fined to forest areas as reported by all recent surveys.
