Taxonomy
The Dayak roundleaf bat was described as a new species in 1902 by British zoologist Oldfield Thomas. Thomas named it Hipposiderus dyacorum, misspelling the genus Hipposideros. The holotype had been collected by Charles Hose on Mount Mulu, Malaysia.[2]
Description
Its forearm length is 40–42 mm (1.6–1.7 in), and individuals weigh 6–10 g (0.21–0.35 oz).[3]
gollark: Lots of things are yellow, however.
gollark: People have been wrong about things before, and this is definitely one of those times because there has been in no way any collusion with any firm offering edible carbohydrate products.
gollark: It's not pizza. There were no deals, under-the-table or otherwise, with pizza companies. No pizza companies pay for any kind of subliminal advertising involving me.
gollark: I mean, apart from the inherent badness of the Graphics Interchange Format.
gollark: I quite like this actually.
