Description
Balionycteris seimundi is a small megabat, weighing only 10–15 g (0.35–0.53 oz). It has a forearm length of 40–45 mm (1.6–1.8 in). Its fur is blackish brown on its back and somewhat paler on its underside.
Range & habitat
Balionycteris seimundi is widely distributed in Peninsular Malaysia. Its range likely includes other countries in Southeast Asia, including Thailand and Indonesia (Sumatra and the Riau Archipelago). They roost in small groups in palm trees, termite nests, epiphytic ferns, and, occasionally, caves. Its habitat includes lowland rainforests at elevations from sea level to 1,500 m (4,900 ft) above sea level.
