The lesser great leaf-nosed bat or lesser roundleaf bat (Hipposideros turpis) is a species of bat in the family Hipposideridae. It is found in Japan. Its natural habitat is temperate forests.[1][2] Human interference has caused rapid habitat destruction, this has caused the bat to become endangered.[3]
Subspecies
Previously three subspecies was included:[4]
- H. t. turpis: Yaeyama Islands, Japan, on the 4 islands Iriomote, Ishigaki, Yonaguni, and Hateruma.[2]
- H. t. pendleuryi: Thailand
- H. t. alongensis: Vietnam
Two subspecies of Thailand and Vietnam are considered to be distinct species, H. pendleuryi and H. alongensis, respectively.[5]
