Malayan tailless leaf-nosed bat

The Malayan tailless leaf-nosed bat, Coelops robinsoni, is a very small bat with long, soft fur that is brown to blackish above and ashy below. It can be told from other roundleaf bats by its small size and the absence of a tail. In Thailand it forms small colonies in caves and is considered rare, and in Peninsular Malaysia it has been found roosting in a cave and in the hollow buttress of a tree, sharing the site with Ridley's leaf-nosed bat. In Sarawak it is recorded only from the east. Its ecology is poorly known, partly because it is hard to catch, and the IUCN lists it as Vulnerable. The Philippine bat once called Coelops hirsutus has been treated as the same species.
