Laotian leaf-nosed bat

The Laotian leaf-nosed bat, Hipposideros rotalis, also called the Laotian roundleaf bat, is thought to be endemic to Laos, where the Mammal Diversity Database gives the type locality as Ban Keng Bit on the Nam Kading river in Bolikhamxai Province. The English Wikipedia lead assigns it to the family Rhinolophidae, an older arrangement, although the genus Hipposideros belongs to Hipposideridae. Only a small number of individuals have been recorded, but the population is thought to be large because the species is believed to cover a range of more than 20,000 square kilometres. The database lists it as a living species of the Indomalayan realm and gives it an IUCN status of Least Concern.
