[edit] Khasian Leaf-nosed Bat Hipposideros khasiana (2006)

Hipposideros khasiana is a species of horseshoe bat from north-east India, proposed as distinct from the Intermediate Leaf-nosed Bat (Hipposideros larvatus) in 2006. It differs from H. larvatus in having a call at a lower frequency, and having longer ears and forearms.^[1]

[edit] Phou Khao Khouay Leaf-nosed Bat Hipposideros khaokhouayensis (2006)

This is a species from Laos of the Hipposideros bicolor subgroup within the family Hipposideridae, with long brown dorsal fur and very light brownish ventral fur, large ears, relatively small and narrow nose-leaf without supplementary leaflets. It is further distinguished by cranial characters and the frequency of its echolocation calls.^[2]

[edit] Marovaza House Bat Scotophilus marovaza (2006)

[edit] Harrison's Murine Bat Murina harrisoni (2005)

This bat was collected in a degraded gallery forest in Kirirom National Park in Cambodia. It differs from all other Murina species by its second upper incisor being shorter than the first, and from all but one by the insertion of its tail membrane on the base of the first toe.^[6]

[edit] Ansell's Epauletted Fruit Bat Epomophorus anselli (2004)

This new fruit bat was discovered in two bat collections from Malawi. The species is intermediate in size between the sympatric species Epomophorus cf. labiatus and Epomophorus gambianus crypturus.

This species was caught in northern Madagascar and consists of two typical colour morphs, a reddish one and a medium chocolate brown one.^[8]

[edit] Kachin Woolly Bat Kerivoula kachinensis (2004)

This bat was found in forests in North Myanmar. It is characterized by the combination of its large size - it is larger than most other Asiatic Kerivoula species - and its unique flattened skull.^[9]

[edit] Hanaki's Dwarf Bat Pipistrellus hanaki (2004)

This new dwarf bat from Libya differs from its nearest relatives P. pipistrellus and P. pygmaeus chromosomally, and by its larger skull and teeth, and a number of other characters.^[10]

This species was discovered in Lore Lindu National Park in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia.^[11]

[edit] Shield-nosed Bat Hipposideros scutinares (2003)

This is a large leaf-nosed bat from Laos and Vietnam, with a known forearm length of 77.9-82.7 mm and a condylobasal length of 26.5-27.9 mm. It is intermediate between its two nearest relatives and further differs from these in a number of body and skull characters.^[12]

This bat is distinguished by its large tragus, its brownish dorsal pelage, its large thumb and thumb claw, and the form of its penis and penis bone.^[14]

[edit] Alpine Long-eared Bat Plecotus alpinus (April 2002)

In 2002 a new species of bat was named in Europe - the Alpine Long-Eared Bat (Plecotus alpinus). It differs from other European long-eared bats by its white underparts. Later in the year 2002, the same species was described by other researchers as Plecotus microdontus, which is now a junior synonym.^[15] /^[16]

[edit] Rhinolophus ziama (2002)

Rhinolophus ziama, a member of the Rhinolophus maclaudi species group, was described in 2002. This horseshoe bat species is known from a few specimens taken from Ziama Classified Forest in southeastern Guinea. It is also known from Liberia.^[17]

It is characterized by its long upper and lower canines and distinguished from its close and sympatric relative Nyctimene (Paranyctimene) raptor by its larger size and stronger built.^[20]

[edit] Curry's Butterfly Bat Glauconycteris curryae (2001)

This new Butterfly Bat from Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of Congo is distinct from other African species of its genus by the combination of the characters size, skull shape, fur colour, and the absence of spotting or reticulation.
