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: It's not *just* that.
gollark: I don't think people will react very well to being told to basically not have any social interaction for large parts of a year, honestly.
gollark: Apparently the plan is to try and keep the number of cases manageable but not keep people too isolated by changing the "restrictions" (recommendations right now) for a year or so.
gollark: The UK appears to mostly be going for just *asking* people not to go out much right now, and obviously shutting schools.
gollark: That doesn't make it a good idea.
