Fly River roundleaf bat

Mammals

The Fly River roundleaf bat, Hipposideros muscinus, is a leaf-nosed bat found only on the island of New Guinea, in West Papua in Indonesia and in Papua New Guinea. Oldfield Thomas and Giacomo Doria described it in 1886 from a specimen that Luigi D'Albertis collected along the Fly River, first placing it in the genus Phyllorhina. Two measured individuals had a head and body length of 44 to 52 millimetres, a tail of 23 millimetres and a forearm of 45 to 47 millimetres. It has been recorded from sea level to about 750 metres in forested habitat. Taxonomists have grouped it with Semon's, Wollaston's and the northern leaf-nosed bats, and the IUCN lists it as Least Concern.
