As in Horsfield’s Leaf-nosed Bat, there are three supplementary leaflets on each cheek. Pelage is dark brown to reddish-brown. Baculum has two distinct prongs but is short and oval in shape rather than elongate as in Horsfield’s Leaf-nosed Bat.

Habitat. In east-centralJava, the Maduran Leaf-nosed Bat was found in limestone caves near villages. It has been recorded from below 1000 m.

Food and Feeding. No information.

Breeding. No information.

Activity patterns. The Maduran Leaf-nosed Bat is known to roost in limestone caves.

Movements, Home range and Social organization. Maduran Leaf-nosed Bats are known to roost in small colonies.

Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on IUCN Red List. It is currently known from the eastern part ofJava, but surveys are needed to confirm whether or not it also occurs in the western part of the island or further east. As a cave-dwelling bat, the Maduran Leaf-nosed Bat may be at risk due to limestone quarrying.
