Material examined: 1 ♂, c. 50 m from the cave entrance, Siju cave , 19.03.2019, U. Saikia & party V /M/ERS/547

Remarks: A lone male individual was caught roosting in a small side passage. This is the only Rhinolophus species recorded during the present surveys and possibly uncommon in Siju cave, although two other species Rh. subbadius and Rh. pusillus were recorded earlier ( Sinha, 1999).
