The Philippine forest roundleaf bat, Hipposideros obscurus, also called the Philippine forest leaf-nosed bat, is a species of the family Hipposideridae endemic to the Philippines. The Mammal Diversity Database gives the type locality as Paracale in Camarines Norte Province on Luzon, places the bat in the Indomalayan realm as a living species and records an IUCN status of Least Concern, which the English Wikipedia article confirms. Published detail on its size, diet and roosting habits is scarce, and the Wikipedia article is a short stub, so this entry records only the sourced range and conservation status and leaves the rest to later sources.
