Shield-nosed leaf-nosed bat

The shield-nosed leaf-nosed bat, Hipposideros scutinares, also called the shield-nosed roundleaf bat, is a bat of Laos and Vietnam. The Mammal Diversity Database gives the type locality as Ban Khankeo, formerly Ban Phahom, on the upper Nam Hinboun in Bolikhamsai Province, within the Khammouan Limestone National Biodiversity Conservation Area in Laos. It places the species in the Indomalayan realm as a living species with an IUCN status of Vulnerable. The English Wikipedia article is a single sentence that gives only the names and the two countries, so published detail on its size, diet and roosts is not repeated here and is left to later sources.
