Shield-faced roundleaf bat

The shield-faced roundleaf bat, Hipposideros lylei, is a leaf-nosed bat found in China, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam, although the Mammal Diversity Database treats Laos as uncertain. The database gives the type locality as Chiengdao Cave, about 80 kilometres north of Chiang Mai in northern Thailand, at an altitude of 350 metres, and lists it as the shield-faced leaf-nosed bat. It places the species in the Indomalayan realm as a living species with an IUCN status of Least Concern. The English Wikipedia article states only its family and its range, so its size, diet and roosts are not described here and are left to later sources.
