Rhinolophus hilli Aellen, 1973: 101 .

Although the type specimen of Rhinolophus hilli was already collected in 1964, it was only described after the publication of Hayman et al. (1966). The species is only known from two specimens: the type specimen from Uwinka, at the top of a hill at 2300 m, and another specimen from Ruta Bansugera (=Routabansougera) at the bottom of the same hill at 1750 m and 8 km to the northwest ( Baeten et al. 1984: 194; Fahr 2013b: 335).
