description: <i>Rhinolophus acuminatus</i> Peters, 1871 Rhinolophus acuminatus Peters, 1871: 308; Gadok, Java, INDONESIA (Collector unknown; MNB 2548 /1) [129]. <b>Common English name:</b> Acuminate Horseshoe Bat <b>Barcode Index Number:</b> DNA barcodes recorded as <i>R</i>. <i>acuminatus</i> are associated with two BINs, BOLD:AAB9238 and BOLD:ABY9249. We did not include the only DNA barcode recorded as <i>R</i>. <i>acuminatus</i> (RONP046-14) from Peninsular Malaysia in our NJ analysis due to its short length (S4 Fig). <b>Remarks:</b> Five subspecies are recognised by Simmons [98]: <i>R</i>. <i>a</i>. <i>acuminatus</i> in Java, <i>R</i>. <i>a</i>. <i>sumatranus</i> in Sumatra and Borneo, <i>R</i>. <i>a</i>. <i>circe</i> in Nias Island, <i>R</i>. <i>a</i>. <i>calypso</i> in Enggano Island, and <i>R</i>. <i>a</i>. <i>audax</i> in Bali and Lombok. Corbet and Hill [9] commented that specimens from the mainland of Southeast Asia (i.e. Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Peninsular Malaysia) resemble those from Java or Lombok. <b>IUCN status:</b> Least Concern <b>Recorded at: Pahang</b>: Krau Wildlife Reserve [11], Fraser Hill Forest Reserve [56], Gunung Aais [100]; <b>Kedah</b>: Ulu Muda Forest Reserve [57]; <b>Kelantan:</b> Gunung Reng [62]; <b>Perak</b>: Royal Belum State Park [66], Temenggor Lake [69], Temengor Forest Reserve [111]; <b>Terengganu</b>: Tasik Kenyir [69]. <i>R</i>. <i>acuminatus</i> has been reported roosting in caves, tree hollows, and sometimes roosts solitarily or in pairs under palm leaves in mature lowland forests and hills [11, 14].
