The Malayan horseshoe bat is a small brown Rhinolophus with a complex noseleaf used to focus echolocation calls. It occurs through mainland Southeast Asia and reaches southern China. Limestone caves and similar underground sites provide roosts, while surrounding tropical forest supplies moths and other flying insects captured during slow, manoeuvrable flight.
