The Maghreb leaf-nosed bat, Hipposideros tephrus, also called the ash gray leaf-nosed bat, is found in forest and savanna in Morocco, Yemen and Senegal, according to the English Wikipedia article, and the Mammal Diversity Database gives the type locality as Mogador in Morocco. The database notes that it was split from Sundevall's roundleaf bat and that records of that species across East and West Africa likely represent this one, so its real range is probably much wider than the confirmed countries. It places the species in the Afrotropical and Palearctic realms as a living species, and the IUCN assesses it as Least Concern.
