Remarks

Hipposideros diadema was the largest hipposiderid species in the study area ( Table 2 View TABLE ). It can be easily distinguished from other Hipposideros by its larger body size and a distinct white, cream, or yellow flash along the side of each shoulder, which extends as a stripe down the side of the upperparts.

It is primarily a cave-roosting bat ( Kingston et al., 2006), and has been recorded roosting with Rhinolophus affinis at a cave in Penggerukan, North Sumatra ( Whitten et al., 2000). Our finding extends its distribution from northern Sumatra to the south.
