Hipposideros Hypophyllus
The Kolar leaf-nosed bat (''Hipposideros hypophyllus''), or leafletted leaf-nosed bat is a species of bat in the family Hipposideridae. It is endemic to India. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests and caves. It is found in only one cave in India, and its population is less than 200 individuals. Taxonomy This species was described in 1994. The '' Hipposideros'' bats of South Asia are divided into closely related species groups. The Kolar leaf-nosed bat is placed in the "bicolor" species group, which also includes: The "bicolor" species group is characterized by the absence of secondary leaflets on their nose-leaves and a forearm length of . It is most closely related to Cantor's roundleaf bat and the fawn leaf-nosed bat; these three species form a clade in the genus ''Hipposideros''. Description Its forearm is long. The fur on its back is variable in color, with some individuals' hairs tipped with grayish-brown, while others' hairs are tipped wit ...

Hipposideridae
The Hipposideridae are a family of bats commonly known as the Old World leaf-nosed bats. While it has often been seen as a subfamily, Hipposiderinae, of the family Rhinolophidae, it is now more generally classified as its own family.Simmons, 2005, p. 365 Nevertheless, it is most closely related to Rhinolophidae within the suborder Yinpterochiroptera. Taxonomy The Hipposideridae contain 10 living genera and more than 70 species, mostly in the widespread genus ''Hipposideros''. In addition, several fossil genera are known; the oldest fossils attributed to the family are from the middle Eocene of Europe. In their 1997 ''Classification of Mammals'', Malcolm C. McKenna and Susan K. Bell proposed a division of Hipposideridae (called Rhinonycterinae in their work) into three tribes, one with two subtribes, but these tribes turned out to be non- monophyletic and have been abandoned. A different classification was proposed by Hand and Kirsch in 2003. In 2009, Petr Benda and Peter Vallo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Big-eared Roundleaf Bat
The big-eared roundleaf bat (''Hipposideros macrobullatus'') is a species of bat in the family Hipposideridae. It is endemic to Indonesia, known from Kangean Islands, southwestern Sulawesi and Seram Island. It roosts in caves and tree hollows and probably forages in woodland. It is threatened by habitat loss through logging and other human activities. Taxonomy and etymology It was described in 1941 by American zoologist George Henry Hamilton Tate. Tate described it as a new subspecies of the bicolored roundleaf bat, with a trinomen of ''Hipposideros bicolor macrobullatus''. The holotype had been collected by G. Heinrich in 1931 in Maros, Indonesia. Tate wrote that its skull was "noteworthy on the account of the large bullae," likely inspiring the specific epithet "''macrobullatus''" from Ancient Greek '' makrós'' meaning "large" and Latin ''bulla''. In 1986, it was revised to full species status. Description Its forearm length is . Its fur is brown or reddish brown. Range a ...

Lamotte's Roundleaf Bat
Lamotte's roundleaf bat (''Hipposideros lamottei'') is a species of bat found only at Mount Nimba on the border of Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea and Liberia. It is critically endangered. Taxonomy It was described as a new species in 1984 by French zoologist André Brosset. He chose the species name ''lamottei'' after Dr. Maxime Lamotte, who was also a French zoologist. Its status as a species has been called into question, and some suggested that it might be synonymous with Noack's roundleaf bat, ''Hipposideros ruber''. While its mitochondrial gene for cytochrome b may only differ from that of ''H. ruber'' by only 6%, a 2013 study found that it was morphologically distinct from it. Based on its morphology, it is in the ''caffer/ruber'' species complex of its genus. Other species in this complex include: * Sundevall's roundleaf bat, ''H. caffer'' * Noack's roundleaf bat, ''H. ruber'' *'' H. tephrus'' Based on genetic analysis, it has been hypothesized that Lamotte's roundleaf bat has ...
