Ashy roundleaf bat

Hipposideros cineraceus ( English name: " Ashy roundleaf Bat", "Least Leaf - Nosed Bat" "Least Horseshoe Bat" ) is a species of bat of the genus actual round sheet tabs that of Pakistan and India to Sumatra and Borneo and possibly Luzon in the Philippines occurs. The Philippine subspecies H. c. wrighti ( TAYLOR, 1934) was sometimes reckoned to species H. ater, but it seems that it is actually more closely related to H. cineraceus and for this reason it is now regarded as a subspecies of H. cineraceus. It is a small species (weight 3.7 to 4.9 grams) of H. pomona looks very similar but is smaller and has shorter ears.
