Rhinolophidae Gray, 1825

Rhinolophus sp. cf. euryotis Temminck, 1835 . Recorded from Sulawesi to Timor, New Guinea and the Bismarck Archipelago, it also occurs on smaller islands in the region, including Batanta and Waigeo in the Raja Ampat group ( Wiantoro, 2011). It roosts in caves and appears to be far more common in the Moluccas than on islands further east ( Flannery, 1995). On Kofiau, long duration echolocation calls indicative of a species of Rhinolophus were detected with a characteristic frequency of 55 kHz, which is similar to R. euryotis in New Guinea (call type 55 lCF; Armstrong & Aplin, 2017).
