(2017).	20000000	Thainycteris aureocollaris	Least Concern		2020	2020-08-30 00:00:00 UTC	3.1	English	Listed as Least Concern because it is has a large extent of occurrence, and its populations are unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category. Its population size is unknown, but unlikely to be low enough to qualify for any threatened status. Most records are from protected areas.	Most records of this species have been from evergreen forest in hilly and mountainous regions up to over 2000m; the one record from 200m above sea level was at the end of a hilly area. It is unclear whether the species is restricted to hilly areas, or whether the current distribution reflects the fact that most remaining evergreen forest in much of this region are in hilly areas. Most records are of individuals caught in harp traps or mist nets over streams or large rivers. The only Chinese record is from above a small stream in secondary subtropical moist broad-leaf forest on low karstic mountains. Kruskop and Shchinov (2010) suggested this species may feed primarily in open areas, high above the forest. The observed distribution of records may thus relate to the fact that many high flying species may fly lower over rivers when departing roost sites, when coming to drink or when there are many insects over the rivers, and these are the only areas they can potentially be captured. No information is available on roost sites.	Ongoing loss of forested habitats as a result of various sources including agriculture and urban expansion likely affects this species.	Its population size is unknown. All known records are from forested areas, including moderately disturbed forest; as such, it is thus likely that the population had declined extensively with loss of natural forest over the past several decades. However, on the basis of habitat loss alone, it is unlikely to be currently declining at a rate that would qualify for any threatened status.	Unknown	This species is known from northern Thailand, Lao PDR, Viet Nam and southern China. Confirmed records include: Thailand (type locality): Doi Pha Hom Pok National Park, Chiang Mai Province, (1,500 m asl; Kock and Storch 1996). Lao PDR: Nam Et NBCA, LouangPhrabang province, 20° 09'N, 103°24'"E, ~900 m a.s.l. and Houaphan Province 20°15’N, 103°22'E, 1,100m (Thomas et al. 2013). Vietnam: Na Hang Nature Reserve, 7 km NE of Pac Ban, Tuyen Quang State 22°25'N, 105°24'E 350m asl (Eger and Theberge 1999); Hoang Lien Son, Sa Pa, Lao Cai province (22°21'N, 103°46'E, 2000m (Kruskop and Shchinov 2010); Vu Quang Nature Reserve, Ha Tinh Province, 18°16'N, 105°27'E, 200m asl; Bach Ma, Thua Thien-Hue province (Kruskop 2013); Tam Dao, Vinh Phuoc province; Mu Cang Chai Nature Reserve, Che Tao commune, Yen Bai Province, Vietnam, 21°45'52.07"N, 104° 2'35.49"E, 2,038 m (Görföl et al. 2020). China: Shuijia Village, Guizhou Province, China, 25°28’N, 107°52'E, ca. 650 m (Guo et al. 2017). The mapped range is based on connecting confirmed localities on the assumption the range is likely contiguous, though without accounting for suitable habitat. Guo et al. (2017) used Maxent models based on a suite of 32 bioclimatic variables to extrapolate from known records to suggest the species likely occurs throughout much of Vietnam, Laos, northern Thailand, and southeastern China, as well as northeast Myanmar and eastern Cambodia. However, there are as yet no confirmed records from the latter two countries or from southern Vietnam.		Terrestrial	This species has been reported from a number of protected areas.
