Additional faunistic data for P. maculipennis are given. Introduction Two species of the genus Postandrosus Kulzer, 1951 are presently known: the type species P. maculipennis, Kulzer 1951 described from Sabah (Borneo), and P. ater, Kulzer 1952 described from Peninsular Malaysia. A distinct sexual dimorphism in P. ater was described by griMM (2008), and additional faunistic data for both species were given. Newly collected material from Sarawak (Borneo) yielded an additional new species, which is described hereafter. New faunistic data of P. maculipennis are added.

The major finding of bat surveys shows that montane areas have distinct chiropteran composition compared with those in lowland and logged areas. Disturbed habitats do pose a threat to the overall diversity of bats, with the generalist bats been more successful in colonising altered area than those with specialised habitat requirements. Sampling of bats targeted at different site and vegetation type from several protected areas in Sarawak have revealed the current record of bats in Sarawak and its diversity can be monitored for better management of biodiversity in this important region.

Bako National Park - A Natural Laboratory For Teaching And Learning About The Environment YEE SZE ONN AND CHIN LONG FAY Introduction National parks are an important form of landuse. They aim at conserving, protecting and preserving the flora, fauna, landscape and scientifically interesting features as well as providing a laboratory for teaching and learning. Bako National Park occupies 2742 hectares of a rugged sandstone peninsula in the south western region of Sarawak. The park is dominated by a sandstone plateau which averages about 100 metres above sea level. Denundation by water over long periods of time has sculptured this plateau into a distinctive landscape which offers excellent opportunities for field studies in geography and science. Plate 1.

Aside from our return flights between Sydney and Kuala Lumpur, we had booked a return flight from Johor Bahru (Malaysia’s “sister city” to Singapore) to take us to Kuching, Sarawak, on the Malaysian part of Borneo. Malaysian People My original hesitancy for visiting Malaysia was largely due to the animosity between the then Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating and a Dr Mahatir, head boss man of Malaysia. They did not like one another and the latter professed not to like any other Australians much either. I figured, in great error, that the largely Islamic Malaysia might not be much fun. But the Malaysian people were very happy and obliging and some of my best memories of ordinary people in action are from Malaysia. Kuching is my favourite Asian city – by a margin as large as a male proboscis monkey’s nose is long.
