Ashy roundleaf bat

Mammals

The ashy roundleaf bat, Hipposideros cineraceus, is a small leaf-nosed bat of South and Southeast Asia. Edward Blyth described it in 1853 from a specimen collected by William Theobald near the Salt Range in Pakistan, and the species name comes from the Latin for ashen, after the greyish-white parts of its fur. Individuals weigh 4 to 5.5 grams and have a forearm of 36 to 40.5 millimetres and a simple nose leaf with a raised bump on the nasal septum. It roosts in caves by day. The English Wikipedia article records it from Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Pakistan, Thailand and Vietnam at 62 to 1,480 metres above sea level, and the IUCN assessed it as Least Concern in 2019.
