Hipposideros ridleyi Robinson and Kloss, 1911

Hipposideros ridleyi Robinson and Kloss, 1911: 241 ; Botanic Gardens, SINGAPORE (H. N. Ridley, Esq., collector; MNM 2068/11) [ 146].

Common English name: Ridley’s Roundleaf Bat

Barcode Index Number: Two DNA barcodes recorded as H. ridleyi ( BM 470-04 and BM 471-04) are not associated with any BIN due to the short sequence length (<500 bp) but are from Peninsular Malaysia ( Fig 4 ).

IUCN status: Vulnerable

Recorded at: Pahang: Krau Wildlife Reserve [ 11, 42], Kuala Atok, National Park [ 44], Tasik Bera Forest Reserve [ 56], Bukit Ibam, Kemasul and Gunung Aais [ 100]; Kedah: Ulu Muda Forest Reserve [ 57]; Johor: Gunung Panti [ 100]; Kelantan: Gunung Stong State Park [ 100].

H. ridleyi has been reported roosting in small groups in fallen tree hollows, culverts, and drainage pipes [ 11, 14].
