Taxonomy and etymology[edit]
It was described as a new species in 1853 by English zoologist Edward Blyth.
The holotype had been collected by William Theobald near the Salt Range in Bhera, Pakistan.[2]
Its species name "cineraceus" is derived from Latin "cinereus," meaning "ashen."
Blyth described parts of its fur as "greyish-white."[2]
Description[edit]
It is a small species of bat, with individuals weighing 4–5.5 g (0.14–0.19 oz).
Its forearm length is 36–40.5 mm (1.42–1.59 in).
It has a simple nose-leaf with a raised bump on the nasal septum.[3]
Biology and ecology[edit]
It roosts in sheltered places such as caves during the day.[3]
Range and habitat[edit]
Its range includes several countries in South and Southeast Asia.
It has been documented in India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Pakistan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
It has been documented at a range of elevations from 62–1,480 m (203–4,856 ft) above sea level.[1]
Conservation[edit]
As of 2008, it is assessed as a least-concern species by the IUCN.
It meets the criteria for this classification because it has a wide geographic range; its population is presumably large; its range includes protected areas; and it is not likely experiencing rapid population decline.[1]
