The 'true' whiskered bat is primarily a temperate Eurasian species, and its inclusion on some Bornean checklists likely reflects historical taxonomic confusion with one of the region's several similar-looking whiskered Myotis species rather than a confirmed tropical population.
Where reported from Borneo, ecology is assumed to mirror the widespread whiskered myotis — small, agile forest hunting of flying insects — but any specific Bornean record should be treated with caution pending clearer taxonomic resolution.
