Vol. 58 #2 41 a Few Words of Explanation Are Called For Vol. 58 #2 41 A few words of explanation are called for regarding the following identifications. Under the Costa Rica issue, I have listed #619b as Sotalia fluviatilis, whereas the stamp is labelled Sotalia guianensis. My references note that there is some discussion as to splitting the Tucuxi into 2 species with S. fluviatilis becoming the inland river species and S. guianensis being the coastal species. At present however, I do not have confirmation that this has been accepted and for the time being the stamp is listed as S. fluviatilis. Under the Marshall Islands wild cats issue, I have listed #907j Neofelis nebulosa as Indochinese Clouded Leopard. This is because the Clouded Leopard has now been split into 2 species with the populations on Borneo and Sumatra being raised to species level as Neofelis diardi, Diardi's Clouded Leopard. I have yet to establish whether any previous stamps issued as Neofelis nebulosa actually depict the new species. There are 3 new species on stamps included in the following listing, all of them on an issue from Malaysia.

  • A Revised Global Conservation Assessment of the Javan Ferret Badger Melogale Orientalis
    Wilianto & Wibisono SHORT COMMUNICATION A revised global conservation assessment of the Javan Ferret Badger Melogale orientalis Erwin WILIANTO1* & Hariyo T WIBISONO1, 2 Abstract. 1. Sumatran Tiger Conservation Forum In 2008, Javan Ferret Badger Melogale orientalis was categorised as Data Deficient by The IUCN (HarimauKita), Jl. Samiaji III No. 10, Red List of Threatened Species, indicating that there was too little relevant information to assess its Bantarjati, Bogor, 16153, West Java, conservation status. According to the 2008 assessment, its known distribution was restricted to parts Indonesia. of the islands of Java and Bali with no records from Central Java and few, if any, explicitly from the lowlands or far from natural forest. During 2004–2014, 17 opportunistic Javan Ferret Badger records were obtained from various habitats, from 100 to nearly 2000 m altitude. These included 2. four records in Central Java and the adjacent Yogyakarta Special Region, filling in a gap in the Fauna & Flora International – Indonesia species’ known range. West Java records included three locations below 500 m altitude. Several Programme, Komplek Margasatwa records were from around villages, up to 5–8 km from the closest natural forest, indicating that this Baru No 7A, Jl. Margasatwa Raya, species uses heavily human-altered areas. This evidence of a wider altitudinal and spatial Jakarta, 12450, Indonesia distribution, and use of highly human-modified habitats, allowed re-categorisation in 2016 on the IUCN Red List as Least Concern. Ringkasan. Correspondence: Erwin Wilianto Pada tahun 2008, biul selentek Melogale orientalis dikategorikan kedalam kelompok Data Defecient (Kekurangan Data) dalam The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species yang [email protected] mengindikasikan bahwa saat itu sangat sedikit informasi yang digunakan untuk menilai status konservasi jenis ini.

  • Records of Sunda Stink-Badger Mydaus Javanensis from Rajuk Forest, Malinau, North Kalimantan, Indonesia
    Records of Sunda Stink-badger Mydaus javanensis from Rajuk Forest, Malinau, North Kalimantan, Indonesia RUSTAM1 and A. J. GIORDANO2 Abstract Several records of the little known Sunda Stink-badger Mydaus javanensis from North Kalimantan, Indonesia, on the island of Borneo were gathered during a pilot survey of local mammals. Recent records from Indonesian Borneo are few. Field observa- tions and records of hunted individuals suggest a locally abundant population.

Catatan terkini tentang jenis ini dari Pulau Kalimantan wilayah Indonesia sangat sedikit. Observasi lapangan dan catatan temuan dari para pemburu menunjukkan bahwa populasi jenis ini melimpah secara lokal. Sunda Stink-badger Mydaus javanensis is a small ground- dwelling Old World relative of skunks (Mephitidae) that ap- pears to be patchily distributed across the islands of Borneo, Java, Sumatra and the Natuna archipelago (Corbet & Hill 1992, Hwang & Larivière 2003, Meijaard 2003, Long et al. 2008).

  • The 2008 IUCN Red Listings of the World's Small Carnivores
    The 2008 IUCN red listings of the world’s small carnivores Jan SCHIPPER¹*, Michael HOFFMANN¹, J. W. DUCKWORTH² and James CONROY³ Abstract The global conservation status of all the world’s mammals was assessed for the 2008 IUCN Red List. Of the 165 species of small carni- vores recognised during the process, two are Extinct (EX), one is Critically Endangered (CR), ten are Endangered (EN), 22 Vulnerable (VU), ten Near Threatened (NT), 15 Data Deficient (DD) and 105 Least Concern. Thus, 22% of the species for which a category was assigned other than DD were assessed as threatened (i.e. CR, EN or VU), as against 25% for mammals as a whole. Among otters, seven (58%) of the 12 species for which a category was assigned were identified as threatened. This reflects their attachment to rivers and other waterbodies, and heavy trade-driven hunting. The IUCN Red List species accounts are living documents to be updated annually, and further information to refine listings is welcome.

  • Distribution of Sunda Stink-Badger Mydaus Javanensis in Sarawak, Malaysia
    Distribution of Sunda Stink-badger Mydaus javanensis in Sarawak, Malaysia Abstract Belden GIMAN and Alex JUKIE Mydaus javanensis is one of the least studied mammals in the island of Borneo. Standard sources The Sunda Stink-badger (Teledu) imply that it occurs throughout Sarawak, but this stance is not supported by the few, and geographically restricted records here traced in a review of records from the state. Historical specimens and recent sightings, in the context of survey effort across the state, suggest that Sunda Stink-badger does not occur south of Miri Division, and may even be erratic in occurrence outside Keywordsthe northernmost: Borneo, part of the state.

  • BORNEAN MAMMAL TOUR 2017 - a Quest for the Elusive Mammals of the Bornean Rainforest
    BORNEAN MAMMAL TOUR 2017 - A Quest For The Elusive Mammals of The Bornean Rainforest Marbled Cat- © Jo Dale Jo Dale, Margarita Steinhardt, Jens Hauser, Steve Morgan February- March 2017 Bornean Mammal Tour 2017 1 Background The tour was the brainchild of Jo Dale and was aimed at finding a number of the most difficult and elusive mammals of Borneo. Cats were to be a major objective, in particular Clouded Leopard, Marbled Cat and Leopard Cat, though other desirable species such as Binturong, Sunbear and Orangutan were also very much on the agenda. Jens Hauser and Margarita Steinhardt signed up to join Jo and, at the last minute, this trio were joined by Steve Morgan. The logistics on the ground were run by Adventure Alternative Borneo who supplied the guide, Mike Gordon, and drivers. The main tour ran from 16/2/17 to 3/3/17. The tour took in Danum Valley, the Kinabatangan River, and Deramakot Forest Reserve. Steve only joined the main group for the Deramakot leg, joining the group on 22/2/17 at Telupid. 1 Jo arrived the night of 12/2/17 and stayed at Hotel Eden 54 in Kota Kinabalu for the first four nights- pre-tour notes for Jo are in Annex 4. Steve arrived early and spent the time at Poring and Jens also spent a couple of weeks independently of the group, and at the end of the tour, went on independently to visit Sepilok. 2 Results The group saw 47 species of mammal. We failed to find Clouded Leopard but took the best possible consolation prize in Marbled Cat, which we watched for over thirty minutes at quite close range.

  • Records of Small Carnivores and of Medium-Sized Nocturnal Mammals on Java, Indonesia
    Records of small carnivores and of medium-sized nocturnal mammals on Java, Indonesia E. J. RODE-MARGONO1*, A. VOSKAMP2, D. SPAAN1, J. K. LEHTINEN1, P. D. ROBERTS1, V. NIJMAN1 and K. A. I. NEKARIS1 Abstract Most small carnivores and nocturnal mammals in general on the Indonesian island of Java lack frequent and comprehensive dis- tribution surveys. Nocturnal surveys by direct observations from walked transects (survey effort 127 km, about 254 hours) and trap-nights) and direct sightings from Cipaganti, western Java, from two years’ research presence, yielded records of Leopard Cat Prionailurus bengalensis (121 encounters/2 sites), Javan Mongoose Herpestes javanicus (4/2), Yellow-throated Marten Mar- (1/1), Javan Ferret Badger Melogale orientalis (37/1), Banded Linsang Prionodon linsang (2/2), Binturong Arctictis binturong (3/2), Common Palm Civet Paradoxurus hermaphroditus (145/10), Small Indian Civet Viverricula indica (8/1), Javan Chevrotain Tragulus javanicus (3/2), Javan Colugo Galeopterus variegatus (24/5), Spotted Giant Flying Squirrel Petaurista el- egans (2/1) and Red Giant Flying Squirrel P. petaurista (13/3), as well as of the research’s focus, Javan Slow Loris Nycticebus javanicus Small-toothed Palm Civet Arctogalidia trivirgata, Sunda Stink-badger Mydaus javanensis and Sunda Porcupine Hystrix javanica - sites. We report descriptive data on behaviour, ecology and sighting distances from human settlements.
