The Phou Khao Khouay leaf-nosed bat, Hipposideros khaokhouayensis, is a roundleaf bat found in Laos and Vietnam. It was described as a new species in 2006, and the type specimen was collected in the Phou Khao Khouay National Biodiversity Conservation Area in central Laos, beside the Tak Leuk waterfall on the Nam Leuk at an elevation of about 180 metres. The IUCN considers it vulnerable to extinction. The Mammal Diversity Database lists it as a recently described living species of the Indomalayan realm. The English Wikipedia article is a short stub, so details of its size, diet and roosts are not given here and are left for later sources.
