Spurred roundleaf bat

Mammals

The spurred roundleaf bat, Hipposideros calcaratus, is a leaf-nosed bat of the family Hipposideridae that lives on islands of the southwest Pacific. The English Wikipedia article places it in Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, and the Mammal Diversity Database also lists Indonesia, giving the type locality as Duke of York Island and the adjacent coasts of New Ireland and New Britain. The database also calls it the spurred leaf-nosed bat, places it in the Australasian realm and records an IUCN status of Least Concern. Detailed accounts of its biology are scarce, and the English Wikipedia article is a short stub that states only its family and its range.
