SPECIES Hipposideros pelingensis
| Author: | Shamel, 1940. | | Citation: | J. Mammal., 21: 353. | | Common Name: | Peleng Leaf-nosed Bat | | Type Locality: | Indonesia, Peling (= Peleng) Isl east of Sulawesi. | | Distribution: | Peleng Isl and Sulawesi (Indonesia). | | Status: | IUCN 2003 – Not evaluated; not considered in IUCN/SSC Action Plan (2001). | | Comments: | diadema species group. Hill (1963b, 1983) followed Tate (1941) in treating pelingensis as a subspecies of dinops, but these taxa (which are separated by 1,800 km with no known populations on the many islands in between) are diagnosably distinct; see Flannery (1995b). H. pelingensis is therefore provisionally treated here as a separate species pending further study. |
