A horseshoe bat named for the distinctively arched shape of part of its noseleaf structure, one of several similar-looking Rhinolophus species found across Borneo.
Roosts in caves and other sheltered sites, hunting flying insects at night by echolocation; field identification against similar horseshoe bats generally requires in-hand examination.
