Abstract

A total of 395 skulls and skins of Macroglossus were examined, mostly from Indonesia, and some from Philippines, Papua New Guinea and Australia. The use of discriminant [unction analysis recognized six broad grollps of island populations of Macroglossus: The [aura grollp (Nias, Sumaiera, [auia, Bali and NusaPenida ls.), the Nusa Tenggara group (Lombok, Sumbawa, Moyo, Komodo, Rinca, Sumba, Flores, Adonara, Lembatu, Paniar, Alor, Timer, Semau, Roti, Sabu, Kalitnanian, Westem Australia, New Britain, New Ireland and Bum), the Suiatuesi group (Sulauiesi onlv), the Siberui group (Siberut only), the New Guinea group(New Guinea only) and the Philippine group (Philippines only). The [aura group is represented by M. sobrinus Andersen, 1911; the other grollps M. minimus (Geoffroy, 1810). Within M. sobrinus, foursubspecies were recognized. These were M. s. sobrinus (fawa and Sumaiera); M.s. fratemus (Siberut); M. s. subsp. novo A (Bali and Nusa penida); and M. s. sllbsp. novo B (Nias). Within M. minimus, six subspecies were recognized, these were M. m. minim us (Nusa Tenggara and Western Australia); M. m. nanus (New Britain and New Ireland); M. m. lagochilus (Kalimantan, Buru and Madura); M. m. microtus (New Guinea); M. m. fructivorous (Philippines) and M. m. meyeri (Sulouiesi). The taxa can be separated by discriminant function and unioariate analysis of continuously varying characters, in conjunction with the anterooentral ossification projecting forwards from the den tan} symphysis and the fleshy protuberance supportedon tile distal end of the lips by this ossification.Key Words: Fruit-bats, Macroglossus spp..

Abstract

The fieldworks for inventory and collection on mammals in Gunung Halimun National Park (OHNP) had been carried out for long time; however the works only focused on the areas belong to Bogor District. Therefore, the fieldwork was carried out in the buffer zone of the GHNP in Lebak District.The fieldwork had collected 70 numbers consisted of 16 species of mammals, of which five species were new records for GHNP and of those five species, two species (Glischropus javanus and Myotis sp.)were new collection for the Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense-Research Center for Biology-The Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI).The Baduy people were noticed to hunt fruit-bats from some caves for their food.It was suggested a monitoring activity on the utilization of fruit-bats should be conducted for the conservation of the fruit-bats.Further fieldwork outside the Bogor District in the future should also be considered, particularly on the area along the river.
