A Malay specimen agrees well with the types. 
R. nicobariensis is a Malayan rather than an Indian species, occurring in the 
Nicobars, the Malay Peninsula and the Sunda Islands.' In the Malay Peninsula it 
has always been found in or near caves. 
My specimens were taken in semi-darkness a short distance within the mouth of 
the Goah Glap (Dark Cave) near Bisarat.
