description: <i>Hipposideros halophyllus</i> Hill and Yenbutra, 1984 <i>Hipposideros halophyllus</i> Hill and Yenbutra, 1984: 77; Khao Sa Moa Khon (= Khao Sa Moa Khon), Tha Woong (= Ta Woong), Lop Buri, THAILAND (Kitti Thonglongya, collector; TNRC 54–3694) [115]. <b>Common English name:</b> Thai Roundleaf Bat <b> <i>Barcode Index Number</i>:</b> BOLD:AAX1220 (1 DNA barcode from Peninsular Malaysia; Fig 4) <b>Remarks:</b> The BIN also contains a DNA barcode labelled as <i>H</i>. <i>ater</i> from India which was originally mined from Genbank. The DNA barcode of <i>“</i> <i>H</i>. <i>ater</i> <i>”</i> is likely to be a case of misidentification as <i>H</i>. <i>halophyllus</i> and <i>H</i>. <i>ater</i> are distinct species. <i>H</i>. <i>halophyllus</i> has a kidneyshaped internarial septum whereas <i>H</i>. <i>ater</i> has a slightly inflated and triangular internarial septum [30]. It is unlikely that <i>H</i>. <i>ater</i> occurs in Peninsular Malaysia due to the lack of any records, however, Peninsular Malaysia is included in the distribution range of <i>H</i>. <i>ater</i> in some literature [1, 9]. IUCN status: Vulnerable <b>Recorded at:</b> <b>Perak</b>: Bukit Jerneh Cave and Tumang Lembing Cave [30]. <i>H</i>. <i>halophyllus</i> has been recorded in and nearby limestone caves in Peninsular Malaysia and Thailand [14, 30]. It is unknown whether <i>H</i>. <i>halophyllus</i> is strictly confined to limestone areas or this association is an effect of limited sampling but it is likely that the species requires specialised roosting habitat [30]. <b> <i>Hipposiderosbicolor</i> speciescomplex.</b> <i>Hipposiderosbicolor</i> wasfirstrecognisedasacryptic species complex by Kingston et al. [16] who discovered two phonic types under <i>H</i>. <i>bicolor</i> sensu lato with individuals echolocating at 131 kHz (= <i>H</i>. bicolor 131) or at 142 kHz (= <i>H</i>. bicolor 142). The two phonic types are 6.5–6.8% divergent in mtDNA [16] yet morphologically similar and overlap in size [16]. Although the phonic types have been widely recognised as distinct species, some recent reports still use <i>H</i>. <i>bicolor</i> to represent both phonic types [50, 61, 67, 111] which leads to ambiguity regarding the occurrence of the species. The two phonic types were recently formalised under Latin names: <i>H</i>. <i>bicolor</i> (= bicolor131) and <i>H</i>. <i>atrox</i> (= bicolor142) [17]. However, our search of DNA barcodes on BOLD coupled with recent DNA barcoding suggested that the <i>H</i>. <i>bicolor</i> complex is even more complicated (Fig 4).
