Remarks

This mid-sized Rhinolophus was common throughout the survey area. It was caught between 50–1014 m. a.s.l. in forests and coffee plantations One to two individuals were found roosting under a bed in a wooden house surrounded by mixed coffee plantations in Sukaraja Village for at least 13 months. In the study area, it can be easily distinguished from other Rhinolophus species, except R. lepidus / R. pusillus (see species account below), by its triangular-tipped connecting process, and then can be separated from R. lepidus / R. pusillus by its longer forearm.
