Breeding. In Malay Peninsula, females were found pregnant in March-April. Lactating females were caught in April-June.

Activity patterns. The Bornean Leaf-nosed Bat roosts in caves, rock crevices, and hollow trees. Call frequency of the F segment is 195-200 kHz.

Movements, Home range and Social organization. The Bornean Leaf-nosed Bat was caught in the same trap with Kunz’s Leaf-nosed Bats (Ä kunzz), Bicolored Leaf-nosed Bats ( H. bicolor ), and Dayak Leaf-nosed Bats ( H. dyacorum ), as well as other forest-dwelling Murèna and Kerivoula.
