Hipposideros srilankaensis
Hipposideros srilankaensis is a 2025 identified leaf-nosed bat species endemic to Sri Lanka. Previously classified under Hipposideros galeritus, it was reclassified based on morphological, genetic, and echolocation call analyses. The discovery resulted from a decade-long study led by Bhargavi Srinivasulu, in collaboration with researchers from Osmania University, the Zoological Survey of India, the University of Ruhuna, Rajarata University, the University of Colombo, Prince of Songkla University, and the University of Reading.
