Greater roundleaf bat

Mammals

The greater roundleaf bat, Doryrhina camerunensis, also called the Cameroon leaf-nosed bat, is an Old World leaf-nosed bat of equatorial Africa. The English Wikipedia article records it from Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Kenya, and the Mammal Diversity Database adds Uganda; the type specimen came from near Buea in Cameroon. It was long placed in the genus Hipposideros and was transferred to Doryrhina because it is assumed to be closely related to the cyclops roundleaf bat, Doryrhina cyclops. The Mammal Diversity Database places it in the Afrotropical realm and lists it as a living species that has not been evaluated for the IUCN Red List.
