The Dayak roundleaf bat (Hipposideros dyacorum), also known as the least roundleaf bat, is a species of bat in the family Hipposideridae. It is found in Indonesia and Malaysia.

Taxonomy

The Dayak roundleaf bat was described as a new species in 1902 by British zoologist Oldfield Thomas. Thomas named it Hipposiderus dyacorum, misspelling the genus Hipposideros. The holotype had been collected by Charles Hose on Mount Mulu, Malaysia.[2]

Description

Its forearm length is 40–42 mm (1.6–1.7 in), and individuals weigh 6–10 g (0.21–0.35 oz).[3]
