The Biak roundleaf bat, Hipposideros papua, also called the Geelvink Bay leaf-nosed bat, is a species of the family Hipposideridae endemic to the Biak Islands, the Schouten Islands, and the Cenderawasih or Geelvink Bay area of Papua Province in Western New Guinea, Indonesia. The Mammal Diversity Database gives the type locality as Korido on Misori, now Biak Island, in Geelvink Bay. It places the species in the Australasian realm as a living species with an IUCN status of Least Concern. The English Wikipedia article states only its names and range, so its size, diet and roosts are not described here and are left to later sources.
