Rhinolophus tatar is included in the euryotis species group and is sister to the clade that includes. euryotis and the new central Sulawesi species. Rhinolophus tatar was previously included in R. euryotis but was recently elevated to species level by L. E.
Patrick and coworkers in 2013, based on genetic and morphometric data. The islands in which R. euryotis occurs between Sulawesi and New Guinea have not been tested phylogenetically or morphometrically, and some or all of these populations could potentially refer to R. tatar . Monotypic.

Descriptive notes. Head-body 51-2-61- 6 mm, tail 16-2-21- 6 mm, ear 17-2-22- 3 mm, hindfoot 9-2-12- 4 mm, forearm 47-3-51- 8 mm; weight 9-13 g. Dorsal pelage is dark brown (hairs with whitish base and dark brown shaft), whereas ventral pelage is a litde lighter. Ears are moderately long. Noseleaf has more or less straight-sided and densely haired lancet; connecting process is semicircular and is hairy; sella is wide but relatively short and almost parallel-sided with convex outlined tip; horseshoe has longitudinal groove with raised edges extending from median edge to intemarial region, is dark in color with exception of whitish stripe on median longitudinal groove, is wide (9—9- 6 mm), covering muzzle, and has very shallow median emargination. Lower lip has three mental grooves. Skull is large but slender in build (zygomatic breadth is subequal to mastoid breadth); anterior median swellings are prominent and bulbous; posterior swellings are reduced; frontal depression extends anteriorly to medium swellings and is elongated and moderately deep; supraorbital crests are conspicuous but not very sharp; sagittal crest is moderately developed. C1 is long and strong; P2 is medium-sized and within tooth row; P3 is very small and completely extruded from tooth row, or sometimes missing entirely; P and P4 are usually very close to one another or touching. Dental formula is the usual of 32 teeth for the genus, or only 30 teeth when a lower premolar is missing.
Habitat. Recorded from slightly disturbed lowland rainforest to lower montane forests.
Food and Feeding. No information.
Breeding. A pregnant female with one embryo was collected in November.
Activity patterns. Sulawesi Broad-eared Horseshoe Bats probably roost in trees, or possibly in caves.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN ed List. The Sulawesi Broad-eared Horseshoe Bat is relatively widespread but is likely to be threatened by roost disturbance and habitat destruction and alteration.
