The Thai horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus siamensis), sometimes called the Thai leaf-nosed bat, is a species of bat from the family Rhinolophidae. It is frequently listed as a subspecies of the Big-eared horseshoe bat, but this may be a result of the two species being taken in sympathy in Laos.[1] It is native to China, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam.[1][2]
The species is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, as its extent of occurrence is much larger than 20,000 km², and there is little likeliness that its population is declining quickly enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category.[1]
Little is known about the Thai horseshoe bat, including its abundance, population size, population trend, major threats, natural history, or presence in protected areas.[1] It is assumed that the Thai horseshoe bat is associated with limestone caves in evergreen forests like other species in its genus.[1]
