Griffin's leaf-nosed bat

Griffin's leaf-nosed bat, Hipposideros griffini, is a roundleaf bat first seen in 2008 and formally described in 2012. It is found only in Vietnam, at two places: Cat Ba Island in the north, which is also its type locality, and Chu Mom Ray National Park. It is generally similar to the species complex of the great roundleaf bat, with which it shares its habitat, but is relatively smaller and its echolocation differs. According to a World Wide Fund for Nature report, it was one of the 367 important new species discovered in the Greater Mekong during 2012 and 2013. The Mammal Diversity Database lists it as a recently described living species of the Indomalayan realm with an IUCN status of Near Threatened.
