The Kolar leaf-nosed bat is placed in the "bicolor" species group, which is characterized by the absence of secondary leaflets on their nose-leaves and a forearm length of 33–44 mm (1.3–1.7 in). [3] It is most closely related to Cantor's roundleaf bat and the fawn leaf-nosed bat; these three species form a clade in the genus Hipposideros. [4]
They range in size from the Malayan tailless leaf-nosed bat, at 3 cm (1 in) and no tail, to the striped leaf-nosed bat, at 13 cm (5 in) plus a 4 cm (2 in) tail. Like all bats, hipposiderids are capable of true and sustained flight , and have wing lengths ranging from multiple species with 3 cm (1 in), to the giant roundleaf bat at 13 cm (5 in).

The Phyllostomidae, also known as New World leaf-nosed bats, are among the most ecologically diverse mammal families. [6] This variation is measured by diversity in skull morphology and diet-related characteristics: Phyllostomidae consists of species that have evolved physical modifications for insectivory, frugivory, hematophagy, nectarivory, and omnivory.
The Hipposideridae are a family of bats commonly known as the Old World leaf-nosed bats. While it has often been seen as a subfamily , Hipposiderinae, of the family Rhinolophidae , it is now more generally classified as its own family. [ 1 ]
Hipposideros is one of the most diverse genera of bats, with more than 70 species.They are collectively called roundleaf bats after the shape of their nasal ornament. It is the type genus of the family Hipposideridae.

He later considered H. g. gentilis and H. g. sinensis as subspecies of the Pomona roundleaf bat (H. pomona). A 2018 publication stated that H. gentilis should be considered a full species rather than a subspecies due to its distinct baculum, nose-leaf, and echolocation characteristics. [5]
