Order Chiroptera - Family Hipposideridae Author Wilson, Don E.

Mammal., 21: 353 . Type Locality: Indonesia , Peling (= Peleng) Isl east of Sulawesi . Vernacular Names: Peleng Leaf-nosed Bat . Distribution: Peleng Isl and Sulawesi ( Indonesia ). Conservation: IUCN 2003 – Not evaluated; not considered in IUCN / SSC Action Plan (2001). Discussion: diadema species group. Hill (1963 b , 1983) followed Tate (1941) in treating pelingensis as a subspecies of dinops , but these taxa (which are separated by 1,800 km with no known populations on the many islands in between) are diagnosably distinct; see Flannery (1995 b ). H. pelingensis is therefore provisionally treated here as a separate species pending further study.
