Borneo roundleaf bat

Mammals

The Borneo roundleaf bat, Hipposideros doriae, also called the Bornean leaf-nosed bat, is found in Borneo, Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia, and Hipposideros sabanus is a synonym of it. Wilhelm Peters described it in 1871 and first placed it in the genus Phyllorhina. It is a small bat with dark fur and a forearm of 34 to 37 millimetres, and it lacks lateral leaflets on the nose leaf, with the posterior leaf missing its supporting septa. It inhabits only primary forest and is not known from disturbed areas. The IUCN lists it as Near Threatened, mainly because of habitat loss from deforestation, agriculture, plantations and fires, though it occurs in some protected areas across its range.
