Kunz's Bicolored Leaf-nosed Bat

Kunz's bicolored leaf-nosed bat, Hipposideros kunzi, is a roundleaf bat of Peninsular Malaysia and the nearby southern tip of Thailand. It was first described in 2018 and named for Thomas Kunz in honour of his work on bat research and conservation. Its populations had previously been assigned to the bicolored roundleaf bat, to which it is closely related, along with Kingston's roundleaf bat. With an average forearm length of 42.9 millimetres it is a relatively small member of the bicolor group. The back fur is brown to orange and the belly yellow-brown to golden, and it echolocates at an average of 143.1 kilohertz, a higher frequency than the bicolored roundleaf bat. The Mammal Diversity Database lists it as a living species that has not been evaluated for the IUCN Red List.
