Taxonomy[edit]
Per George Henry Hamilton Tate, it was described as a new taxon in 1936 by American zoologist Glover Morrill Allen.[2][3]
Allen listed it as a subspecies of the intermediate roundleaf bat (Hipposideros larvatus).[4]
The holotype had been collected in Chindwin, Myanmar.[2]
It was frequently listed as a subspecies until 2006, when analyses of its echolocation and morphology demonstrated that the grand roundleaf bat is distinct enough to be considered a full species.[4]
Description[edit]
Males have a mean forearm length of 60.5 mm (2.38 in), while females have a mean forearm length of 61 mm (2.4 in).
Males weigh 18.3 g (0.65 oz), while females weigh 17.6 g (0.62 oz).
In India, the species has a peak echolocation frequency of 98 kHz, which helps distinguish it from other Hipposideros species.[4]
Range and habitat[edit]
This species is found in several countries in Asia, including China, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam.[1]
It is also found in India.[4]
Conservation[edit]
As of 2016, it is evaluated as a least-concern species by the IUCN.
It meets the criteria for this classification because it has a wide geographic range, it is relatively abundant in Vietnam, and it tolerates some human disturbance to its habitat.[1]
