Rhinolophus anderseni

Cabrera, 1909. Bol. Real. Soc. Esp. Hist. Nat., p. 305.

ORDER—CHIROPTERA
FAMILY—Rhinolophidae

COMMON NAME—Andersen's horseshoe bat.

DISTRIBUTION—
Philippines only, where it is recorded from Luzon (Cabrera, 1909) and Palawan (Allen, 1922; UMMZ).

HABITAT—
Unknown.

STATUS—
Unknown, rare in collections.

COMMENTCorbet and Hill (1992) consider this species close to R. nereis and R. borneensis. We consider this group to be badly in need of review.

COMMENT ADDED IN 2005––Csorba et al. (2003) tentatively considered the holotype of R. anderseni Cabrera 1909 to represent R. arcuatus, but did not examine the holotype. Esselstyn et al. (2004) placed R. anderseni aeguilis as a junior synonym of R. acuminatus.
