Lesser great leaf-nosed bat

The lesser great leaf-nosed bat, Hipposideros turpis, also called the lesser roundleaf bat, is found in Japan, where the Mammal Diversity Database gives its type locality as Ishigaki Island in the southern Liu Kiu Islands. Its natural habitat is temperate forest, and human interference has caused rapid habitat destruction that has made the bat endangered. The database notes that the species previously included the Ha Long leaf-nosed bat and Pendlebury's roundleaf bat, both now treated as separate species. It places the bat in the Palearctic realm as a living species, and the IUCN lists it as Endangered.
