description: 79. Sulawesi Broad-eared Horseshoe <i>Bat</i> <i>Rhinolophus tatar</i> <b>French:</b> Rhinolophe d'Archbold <i>I</i> <b>German:</b> <i>Tate-Archbold-Hufeisennase</i> / <b>Spanish:</b> Herradura de Archbold <b>Other common names:</b> Tatar Horseshoe Bat <b>Taxonomy.</b> <i>Rhinolophus tatar</i> Bergmans &amp; Rozendaal, 1982, “ 5 m above Moinakom River (00°41’N, 124°3’E), Dumoga Nature Reserve, North Sulawesi, Indonesia, altitude 525 m.” <i>Rhinolophus tatar</i> is included in the <i> <i>euryotis</i> species group and is sister to the clade that includes. <i>euryotis</i> and the <i>new</i> central Sulawesi species. <i>Rhinolophus tatar</i> was <i>previously</i> included in <i>R. euryotis</i> but was <i>recently</i> elevated to species level <i>by</i> L. E.</i> Patrick and coworkers in 2013, based on genetic and morphometric data. The islands in which <i>R. euryotis</i> occurs between Sulawesi and New Guinea have not been tested phylogenetically or morphometrically, and some or all of these populations could potentially refer to <i>R. tatar.</i> Monotypic. Distribution. Sulawesi. Descriptive <b>notes.</b> Head-body 51-2-61- 6 mm, tail 16-2-21- 6 mm, ear 17-2-22- 3 mm, hindfoot 9-2-12- 4 mm, forearm 47-3-51- 8 mm; weight 9-13 g. Dorsal pelage is dark brown (hairs with whitish base and dark brown shaft), whereas ventral pelage is a litde lighter. Ears are moderately long. Noseleaf has more or less straight-sided and densely haired lancet; connecting process is semicircular and is hairy; sella is wide but relatively short and almost parallel-sided with convex outlined tip; horseshoe has longitudinal groove with raised edges extending from median edge to intemarial region, is dark in color with exception of whitish stripe on median longitudinal groove, is wide (9—9- 6 mm), covering muzzle, and has very shallow median emargination. Lower lip has three mental grooves. Skull is large but slender in build (zygomatic breadth is subequal to mastoid breadth); anterior median swellings are prominent and bulbous; posterior swellings are reduced; frontal depression extends anteriorly to medium swellings and is elongated and moderately deep; supraorbital crests are conspicuous but <i>not</i> very sharp; sagittal crest is moderately developed. C1 is long and strong; P2 is medium-sized and within tooth row; P3 is very small and <i>completely</i> extruded from tooth row, or sometimes <i>missing</i> entirely; P and P4 are <i>usually</i> very close to one another or touching. Dental formula is the usual of 32 teeth for the genus, or only 30 teeth when a lower premolar is missing. Habitat. Recorded from slightly disturbed lowland rainforest to lower montane forests. <b>Food and Feeding.</b> No information. Breeding. A pregnant female with one embryo was collected in November. <b>Activity patterns.</b> Sulawesi Broad-eared Horseshoe Bats probably roost in trees, or possibly in caves. <b>Movements, Home range and Social organization.</b> No information. <b>Status and</b> Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on <i>The</i> IUCN <i>ed List.</i> The Sulawesi Broad-eared Horseshoe Bat is <i>relatively</i> widespread but is <i>likely</i> to be threatened <i>by</i> roost disturbance and habitat destruction and alteration. <b>Bibliography.</b> Bergmans &amp; <i>Rozendaal</i> (1982), <i>Patrick</i> &amp; Ruedas (2017d), <i>Patrick</i> eta/.
