Pomona roundleaf bat

Mammals

The Pomona roundleaf bat, Hipposideros pomona, also called the Pomona leaf-nosed bat, is a species of the family Hipposideridae that is endemic to India. The Mammal Diversity Database gives the type locality as Haleri in northern Coorg, now Kodagu, in Karnataka in southwestern India, notes that the species formerly included Andersen's leaf-nosed bat, now treated as a separate species, and records an IUCN status of Endangered. It is a living species of the Indomalayan realm. The English Wikipedia article is a single sentence that states its names, its family and its endemism, so published detail on its size, diet and roosts is not repeated here and is left for later sources.
