description: <i>Hipposideros armiger</i> [8]. <b>Common English name:</b> Greater Roundleaf Bat <b>Barcode Index Number:</b> BOLD: AAA 8161 (2 DNA barcodes are from Peninsular Malaysia; Fig 4). <b>Remarks:</b> DNA barcodes recorded as <i>H</i>. <i>armiger</i> are associated with four BINs, BOLD: ABX5993, BOLD:AAA8161, BOLD:AAA8163, and BOLD:AAA8164. The BIN, BOLD: AAA8161 contains DNA barcodes from across Southeast Asia including Peninsular Malaysia (ABBSI001-04 and ABBSI002-04) whereas the remaining BINs appear to be more geographically restricted (Fig 4). Four subspecies were recognised by Simmons [98]: <i>H</i>. <i>a</i>. <i>armiger</i> (type locality: Nepal), <i>H</i>. <i>a</i>. <i>tranninhensis</i> (type locality: Vietnam), <i>H</i>. <i>a</i>. <i>terasensis</i> (type locality: Taiwan), and <i>H</i>. <i>a</i>. <i>fujianensis</i> (type locality: China). Whether each BIN represents a subspecies or a distinct species and whether BOLD:AAA8161 represents <i>H</i>. <i>armiger</i> sensu stricto remains to be determined. <b>IUCN status:</b> Least Concern <b>Recorded at: Pahang</b>: Krau Wildlife Reserve [11], Tasik Chini [43], Kenong [100]; <b>Kedah</b>: Pulau Langkawi [23], Ulu Muda Forest Reserve [57]; <b>Perak</b>: Bukit Jerneh Cave and Tumang Lembing Cave [30], Bayor River-Rantau Panjang [49]; <b>Negeri Sembilan</b>: Pasoh Forest Reserve [45]; <b>Perlis</b>: Wang Kelian State Park [50]; <b>Kelantan:</b> Gunung Reng [62]; <b>Pulau Pinang</b>: Bukit Panchor [100]. <i>H</i>. <i>armiger</i> roosts in large chambers in caves, sometimes in mixed colonies with other species [11, 23]. Individuals have been reported roosting solitarily on <i>bertam</i> plants and in crevices of large boulders in forest [11, 14].
