Head of the Malayan Spotted-winged Fruit Bat is rounded, with short muzzle, sparse haired, and dark brown skin; nostrils are shortly tubular and divergent; philtrum is divided by left and right grooves from base of corresponding nostril down to upper lip; and lower lip pads are large and fused. White spot of bare skin occurs in lacrimal. Eyes are large and bulging; iris is chocolate-brown to dark brown. Ears are short and rounded, and pinnae are dark brown, with slightly swollen white spot at bases and small tubercles on dorsal surfaces. Genal vibrissae form line of swollen follicles from mouth commissure backward. Head pelage is short, soft, velvety, blackish brown, continuing onto nape; dorsum has longer, wavier hairs and is dark brown. Uropatagium is broad on sides and narrow and hairy at center, and calcar short. Gland is present on throat of males. Chest and belly are light gray and softly haired; sides of neck are inconspicuously yellowish. Wing membranes attach to first toe and are dark grayish brown, almost black in some individuals, flecked with white; and characteristically, all wing digit joints are white and slightly swollen. Skull lacks basicranial deflection and is very small and lightly built. Laterally, rostrum is short, gently sloping into forehead; orbit is very large; zygomatic rootis slightly above upper alveolar line; zygoma is thin and arched posteriorly, and braincase is round. Dorsally, rostrum is broad; there is no postorbital foramen; postorbital processes are moderately developed and pointed, directed posterolaterally; paranasal recesses are inflated and posteriorly extended to base of left and right temporal lines, which are low and do not join to form a sagittal crest; there is almost no postorbital constriction; braincase almost rounded; nuchal crest is barely obvious; and zygomatic arches are moderately wide.

The Malayan Spotted-winged Fruit Bat most frequently uses understories but also can be found ¢. 22 m aboveground.	The Malayan Spotted-winged Fruit Bat is a year-round, long-term resident frugivore that uses plants with widely different fruiting strategies from understory species with slow sequential ripening of a few fruits with extended (greater than two months) phenology to large trees with abundant, ephemeral (less than two weeks) crops. In Peninsular Malaysia , diet includes fruits of at least 14 genera in ten families. Fruits typically are small (0-5— 4-5 g ) and green or yellow-green. Small groups forage in forest understories.	The Malayan Spotted-winged Fruit Bat is seasonal polyestrous and polygynous. Gestation is c.135 days;litter size one. Females give birth twice a year, with most births in June-November. Young weigh 3-5 g at birth, with eyes closed and ears folded. Lactation lasts at least 40 days, occasionally up to 80 days. Young start to fly when they weigh 8 g and have forearm length of 36 mm . Sex ratio in adults is female biased (1:2-1). Adult size and sexual maturity are reached after six months, with first litter of females at c.10 months old.	Female Malayan Spotted-winged Fruit Bats leave day roosts at dawn and forage at feeding sites all night. Males frequently return to day roosts to defend them between feeding bouts. Day roosts are tents built by males as small cavities modified in existing vegetation or social-insect nests. Root masses of epiphytic ferns ( Asplenium , Aspleniaceae ) and ginger ( Hedychium , Zingiberaceae ) are excavated to form a small, smooth semi-spherical cavity open from below; active ant nests ( Crematogaster ) and abandoned arboreal termite nests (Bulbitermes) are modified in similar ways.	The Malayan Spotted-winged Fruit Bat is resident throughout the year and forages within 1 km of day roosts. Males roost alone or form harems with up to nine females and their dependent young. Males actively defend their tents from competing bachelor males. Females switch roost frequently and sequentially mate with different males.	Not assessed on The IUCN Red List. The Malayan Spottedwinged Fruit Bat was included in the Bornean Spotted-winged Fruit Bat ( B. maculata ), which was classified as Least Concern. It is widespread, abundant, and usually the most abundant fruit bat in the understory. It tolerates forest disturbance, but it depends on forest structure so it can be locally threatened by changes in land use (e.g. deforestation for agriculture).

This species occurs in primary lowland rainforest from sea level up to 1,500 m asl, and is also found in mangroves (Hodgkison and Kunz 2006). It roosts in epiphytic ferns, zingers, active arboreal nests of ants and abandoned arboreal termite nests (Kingston et al. 2006). It is widely distributed in Peninsular Malaysia but not recorded in abundant, usually forms small harem groups. Furthermore, it has also been reported from rubber plantations managed by villagers which retain vegetative structure (A. Suyanto pers. comm.).	This species is locally threatened throughout much of its distribution by deforestation for agriculture, logging and plantations, and as a result of fire. In Peninsular Malaysia, habitat loss due to forest conversion for agriculture, housing and public infrastructures development is the main threat to the populations.	In Peninsular Malaysia, it is common in primary lowland rain forest (T. Kingston pers. comm.) and was also recorded in hilly dipterocarp forest at Taman Negara Pahang (Tan et al . ;2015). ;The species population is assumed to be stable in protected areas within Peninsular Malaysia and there are no data to document declines outside the region’s protected areas. However, the species habitat has been reduced to 63.62% of what was historically available (DWNP 2017) and may provide insights of possible decreasing of populations outside the protected areas. More studies are needed to be conducted at outside the protected areas.	Stable	Formerly, this species was recorded as a subspecies of Balionycteris maculata in Peninsular Malaysia. It is widespread in Peninsular Malaysia (Tan et al. 2015, Lim et al . 2017) and it is expected that the southern Thailand populations are the same species. However, further studies are needed to reconfirm the species in Thailand, Sumatra, and Riau Archipelago.		Terrestrial	This species occurs within several reserves and protected areas, including production forests in Peninsular Malaysia (Hodgkison and Kunz 2006, Tan et al. ;2015). No direct conservation measures are currently taken for the species as a whole. However, further studies are needed to monitoring the changes of population in abundance and distribution.
