Hipposideros cineraceus

       The grey horseshoe bat is a cave bat. About 50 species were found in the air raid shelter of Zhidong Village, Mingjiang Town, Chongzuo Ning, Guangxi. It is found in Gulong Cave and Shuangbai Mine in Yuanjiang, Yunnan. Also living in the same caves are the small hoofed bats, which have a much larger population. Because of their narrow range and even rarer numbers, they are highly vulnerable and need to be protected.

The grey Hoofed bat, a mammal of the family Hoofed bat, is on the "Red List of Animals".

It is only found in Guangxi and Yunnan in China, and was reported by Tan Min et al. (2009) as the first discovery in China. Foreign distribution in Pakistan, India, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia.

The auriculus is yellowish brown, blunt-pointed at the front, relatively large, folded forward slightly beyond the snout, and the tragus is less than 1/3 of the ear length. The membranes of the alar and interfemur are brown and end at the ankle.
