Description
Habitat
Typically found at an altitude of 0 to 431 meters (0 to 1,414 feet).[1]
Ecology:
This species is found in dry to wet lowland forests
, but have also
been recorded from rubber estates in Southeast Asia. This species
roosts in small colonies or family
units
in old mines, cracks, culverts
and crevices in old buildings, caves, among large boulders
, overhanging
ledges, tunnels, dungeons, forts, temples and churches. On Borneo
it has been found roosting in caves in small groups with H. cervinus,
as well as in colonies of hundreds
of animals (Payne et al.
1998). On Sanana Island it has been found in a colony
of several
hundred individuals sharing a large cave with six other bat species
(Flannnery 1995). It is a low flier and feeds
on beetles and other
insects (Bates and Harrison 1997). In Sri Lanka, the species is observed
to change roost sites frequently (W. Yapa and P.C.M.B. Digana pers.
comm.
).[2].

Hipposideros galeritus includes H. longicauda (Hill
1963). This species formerly included
H. cervinus which is
now recognized as a separate species (Jenkins and Hill 1981, Simmons
2005). The taxonomy has been reviewed in part by Bates and Harrison
(1997) and Flannery (1995).[2].
