Nicobar Leaf-nosed Bat

Mammals

The Nicobar leaf-nosed bat, Hipposideros nicobarulae, is an endangered bat endemic to the Nicobar Islands, with its type locality on Little Nicobar Island in India. The Mammal Diversity Database notes that it was split from the dusky roundleaf bat, and a 2011 paper by Douangboubpha and colleagues re-evaluated the taxon while describing a similar small species from Myanmar. The database lists it from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, places it in the Indomalayan realm as a living species and records an IUCN status of Endangered. The English Wikipedia article is a single sentence, so its size, diet and roosts are not described here and are left to later sources.
