The shield-nosed leaf-nosed bat or shield-nosed roundleaf bat (Hipposideros scutinares) is a bat from Laos and Vietnam.[3]

Taxonomy

In their initial description for H. scutinares, Mark F. Robinson and colleagues placed this species in the H. pratti group, which also includes Pratt's roundleaf bat (H. pratti) and the shield-faced roundleaf bat (H. lylei).[4][2]

Distribution

The specimens examined in the initial species description came from six locations in central Laos and two locations from Vietnam. The type locality is Ban Khankeo on the upper Nam Hinboun River in Khammouane Province,[lower-alpha 1] Laos ( [ ⚑ ] 17°58′N 104°49′E / 17.967°N 104.817°E / 17.967; 104.817).[2] It was subsequently recorded in Cha Noi Cave, Phong Nha-Kẻ Bàng National Park, Vietnam.[5]

Name

The specific epithet comes from the Latin scutum "shield" and nares "nostrils".[2] It is known by the common names "shield-nosed leaf-nosed bat"[1] and "shield-nosed roundleaf bat".[6] Its name in Vietnamese is dơi nếp mũi đông dương.[7]

Notes

  1. The original description listed the type location's province as Bolikhamsai Province, but the province is in fact Khammouan Province.[8]
