Hipposideros cervinus (Gould, 1854)

Fawn-colored leaf-nosed bat

New records

Lampung Province: Lombok Village, Sukaraja Forest, Sumber Rejo Village, Way Canguk Forest.

Previous records from Sumatra

North Sumatra Province: Sukaranda (upper Langkat) ( Bates et al., 2007 a).

Remarks

This medium-sized hipposiderid bat can be easily distinguished from other Hipposideros in the study area by the presence of two lateral leaflets on the muzzle either side of the anterior nose leaf. In our surveys, most individuals were captured with harp traps set in the lowland primary rainforest of Way Canguk, and another six individuals were caught in coffee plantations. A single individual was recorded from Gimbar 2 cave of Way Canguk. Our records extend its distribution from northern Sumatra to the south.
