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 bats they found, however, were echolocating at a frequency 20 kHz above that of H. rotalis, utilizing frequencies of 87–91 kHz. In addition to its echolocation, the Phou Khao Khouay leaf-nosed bat has a smaller nose-leaf than H. rotalis. Its forearm is 45.5–48.5 mm (1.79–1.91 in) long; its tail is 35–37.5 mm (1.38–1.48 in) long ...
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 ] Hipposideros atrox is now considered a full species by some authorities.
