The trefoil horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus trifoliatus) is a species of bat in the family Rhinolophidae. It is found in Brunei, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, and Thailand. In Borneo locally common up to 1,800m, including mangroves.[2]
Rhinolophus trifoliatus is a medium-sized horseshoe bat with a forearm 47–52 millimetres (1.9–2.0 in) long and weighing 10.5–18 grams (0.37–0.63 oz)[3] This bat has fluffy, pale grey fur, with a yellow nose leaf and ear membranes.[2]
R. trifoliatus is caught in the understory of primary and secondary rainforest.[3] This species is thought to be solitary, with individuals observed roosting underneath exposed leaves. As with the neotropical Ectophylla alba it is thought that their pale fur may be an adaptation to make them camouflaged when roosting, as sunlight filtering through the leaf will make them appear green.
