East Asian tailless leaf-nosed bat

The East Asian tailless leaf-nosed bat, Coelops frithii, also called the tail-less leaf-nosed bat, is a small bat of the family Hipposideridae with no visible tail. It is found across Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Taiwan and Vietnam, and the Mammal Diversity Database also lists Cambodia, Nepal and Thailand. The species name commemorates the collector R. W. G. Frith, and the type locality is the Sundarbans of Lower Bengal in India. The Mammal Diversity Database places it in the Indomalayan realm and records an IUCN status of Near Threatened, so it is a species of some conservation concern across a wide but patchy range.
