Catalogue of the chiroptera in the collection of the British Museum. Second edition, British Museum of Natural History. five of which occur in Malaysia, namely, ''Chironax, Balionycteris, Penthetor, Dyacopterus'', and ''Cynopterus''. About 30 names for ''Cynopterus'' species have been proposed, but only 16 are taxonomically valid forms.Kitchener DJ, Maharadatunkamsi. 1991.

Black-capped Fruit Bat
The black-capped fruit bat (''Chironax melanocephalus'') is a species of megabat in the monotypic genus ''Chironax''. Distribution Seven specimens of ''C. melanocephalus'' were collected from the lowland forest at Kubah and Lambir, and beach forest at Samunsam, Sarawak, Borneo. The specimen that was mist-netted in Kubah National Park on 12 July 1995 was a first record for Sarawak (Abdullah et al. 1997). According to Payne et al. (1985) the distribution of C. melanocephalus in Borneo is only known from Sepilok in Sabah and Temburong in Brunei. The range includes Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi (Payne et al. 1985). Biology and ecology The habitat where it was caught was lowland mixed dipterocarp forest. Two specimens were caught in the understory of primary dipterocarp forest in Kubah National Park; one from the understory of mixed beach forest habitat in Samunsam Wildlife Sanctuary; and four from the canopy (between 15 and 30 m) of the primary diptero ...
