SPECIES Hipposideros diadema
| Author: | E. Geoffroy, 1813. | | Citation: | Ann. Mus. Natn. Hist. Nat. Paris, 20: 263. | | Common Name: | Diadem Leaf-nosed Bat | | Type Locality: | Indonesia, Lesser Sunda Isls, Timor Isl. | | Distribution: | Burma and Vietnam through Thailand, Laos, W Malaysia and Indonesia (including Sumatra, Borneo, and Bali) to New Guinea, Bismarck Arch., Solomon Isls and NE Australia; Philippines; Nicobar Isls. Reports of this species from Cambodia cannot be confirmed (Kock, 2000a). | | Status: | IUCN 2003 and IUCN/SSC Action Plan (2001) – Lower Risk (lc). | | Comments: | diadema species group. Many subspecies are of dubious validity, and several island populations have not been assigned to subspecies. Reviewed in part by Laurie and Hill (1954) and Kitchener et al. (1992b). Does not include demissus and inornatus; see Kitchener et al. (1992b). Also see Flannery (1995a, b) and Bonaccorso (1998). May include ornatus, a name listed as a synonym of diadema by Koopman (1993) but which I have been unable to trace (although it may be a lapsus for inornatus). |
