Rhinolophus microglobosus is a species of horseshoe bat found in Southeast Asia.
Taxonomy and etymology
It was described as a subspecies of the lesser brown horseshoe bat in 1998, with the trinomen Rhinolophus stheno microglobosus. The holotype was collected in Na Hang Nature Reserve in Vietnam in 1996.[2] In 2008, Soisook et al. published that R. s. microglobosus should be considered a full species based on distinct morphology and echolocation characteristics.[3] The species name "microglobosus" "refers to the size and shape of the median anterior rostral swellings which are considerably smaller than those of R. stheno."[2]
Description
Relative to other horseshoe bats, it is medium-sized. Its forearm length is 43.8–47.2 mm (1.72–1.86 in). Individuals weigh 9–9.5 g (0.32–0.34 oz). Its dorsal fur is bicolored, with the basal portions of the hairs yellowish-brown and the distal portions cinnamon-brown. Its ventral fur is paler in color. Its flight membranes are all dark brown.[2]
Range and habitat
It is found in several countries in Southeast Asia, including: Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam.[1]
Conservation
As of 2017, it is evaluated as a least-concern species by the IUCN.[1]
