Hipposideros pygmaeus
(Waterhouse, 1843). Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. p. 67.
ORDER—CHIROPTERA
FAMILY—Rhinolophidae
COMMON NAME—Philippine
pygmy roundleaf bat.
DISTRIBUTION—Philippines only. Specimens taken from Bohol (USNM),
Luzon (Camarines Sur [FMNH] and Rizal [USNM] Provinces), Marinduque (PNM),
Negros (FMNH), and Panay (SU).
HABITAT—The
few specimens were taken in caves from sea level to 200 m, in or near
forest (Sanborn, 1952; Taylor, 1934).
STATUS—Widespread,
but seemingly rare. This species is probably strongly impacted by destruction
of cave habitats.
