Rhinolophus tatar is a bat in the horseshoe bat familythat is found on Sulawesi . This taxon was extended period of time as a subspecies of the wide-Ear Horseshoe Bat ( Rhinolophus euryotis out). It has been recognized as a species since 2013 due to genetic differences.
The species (or subspecies) was originally described by zoologists George Henry Hamilton Tate and Richard Archbold in 1939 . By accident, they gave the animal an invalid name. That is why Wim Bergmans and Frank G. Rozendaal published a new description in 1982. The scientific species name consists of the first letters of the "first description".
features
Rhinolophus tatar has 48.7 to 51.0 mm long forearms, a 16.3 to 20.2 mm long tail, 11.5 to 12.4 mm long hind feet, and 19.1 to 20.5 mm long ears. The species is slightly larger and more robust than the Indonesian horseshoe bat ( Rhinolophus arcuatus ), with which it shares many other characteristics. As with the other family members, the 9 to 10 mm wide nasal blade has a horseshoe-shaped basic shape. The triangular and translucent ears are yellowish white near the head and gray-brown at the tips. The gray-brown wings are also translucent. There are hairs on their underside near the trunk. A distinctive feature is a hump in the skull between the nasal blade and forehead. The woolly fur is made up of hairs that are white at the base and brown at the top.
Distribution and way of life
This horseshoe bat has been registered in all regions of Sulawesi. It seems to rest in trees, but could also use caves. Rhinolophus tatar hunts insects.
status
In some areas, deforestation can have a negative impact on the population. The IUCN lists Rhinolophus tatar as not endangered (least concern) .
