Taxonomy
The holotype specimen used to described this species is a female collected in 2010 at the sea level, in the state Rakhine State, Myanmar. This new species was clearly distinguished from two other species of Hipposideros previously known in the region: Hipposideros nicobarulae and Hipposideros ater.
Range and habitat
All the specimens recorded so far were found in human habitations.
gollark: Hmm. Is solar responsible for any deaths?
gollark: Wow, way to invalidate GTech™ sentient mathematical objects™.
gollark: What of GTech™ sentient mathematical objects™?
gollark: It does not. Nuclear waste is tiny and buried in sensible underground locations.
gollark: (and the accidents were all preventable)
