Scientific Name: Myotis oreias
Species Authority: (Temminck, 1840)
Common Name/s:
English – Singaporese Whiskered Myotis, Singapore Whiskered Bat
Taxonomic Notes: Since only the damaged holotype is known, it is impossible to assess the taxonomic status of this bat. Zoogeographically it is difficult to imagine how a species could be restricted to the territory of Singapore (P. Bates and G. Csorba pers. comm.).
