Rhinolophus simulator K. Andersen 1904

A single specimen assigned to this species was collected just south of the Niassa Game Reserve, northern Mozambique. Although it matched R. simulator in most characters (including cranial measurements — Table 2), the anterior upper premolar was tiny and mostly outside the toothrow (inside toothrow in R. simulator) and the ear length was 17 mm which is extremely short for this species. Due to technical difficulties its echolocation call could not be recorded.

Field measurements: FA (adult male) 42.4 (1); Bm (adult male) 6 (1). Nose-leaf width was 7.8 for the single male.
