ORIGINALDATA. — Only a single specimen of Doryrhina cyclopswas captured during our field surveys, which was mist-netted over a waterhole in an undisturbed lowland rainforest of Mount Cameroonat an altitude of 630 ma.s.l. ( Table 1) Fedden & MacLeod (1986)captured this species only in primary forests on Mount Cameroon, while Eisentraut (1963)captured it only at the lowland rainforest of Mount Cameroon.
HABITATS AND DISTRIBUTION. — This species is widely distributed in West and Central Africa, with a few isolated records from East Africa. This species principally inhabits undisturbed tropical rainforest ( Happold 1987), including lowland, coastal, montane, swamp and mangrove forests ( Fahr 2013cas Hipposideros cyclops). It has also been recorded in isolated forest patches on the edges of savannah ( Decher & Fahr 2005) where it roosts singly, in pairs or in small groups in cavities of hollow standing trees. They have a preference for cavities located high above the ground, and often return to the roost to consume their prey ( Happold 1987). Decher & Fahr (2005)mentioned that this species may be threatened by deforestation in some parts of it range.
REMARK. — We use the generic name Doryrhinabased on the revision by Foley et al.(2017).
