Treatment

Hipposideros pelingensis Shamel 1940 , J. Mammal., 21: 353.

Type Locality: Indonesia, Peling (= Peleng) Isl east of Sulawesi.

Vernacular Names: Peleng Leaf-nosed Bat.

Distribution: Peleng Isl and Sulawesi ( Indonesia).

Conservation: IUCN 2003 – Not evaluated; not considered in IUCN / SSC Action Plan (2001).

Discussion: diadema species group. Hill (1963 b, 1983) followed Tate (1941) in treating pelingensis as a subspecies of dinops , but these taxa (which are separated by 1,800 km with no known populations on the many islands in between) are diagnosably distinct; see Flannery (1995 b). H. pelingensis is therefore provisionally treated here as a separate species pending further study.
