Description
Coelops frithii Blyth, 1848
East Asian tailless leaf-nosed bat
FA — 35.0– 39.1 mm, mass — 5.0– 5.5 g. Four males and 17 females were captured in Hainan and Fujian. The Hainan C. frithi (FA — 35.0–37.0 mm) were slightly smaller than bats from Fujian (FA — 36.0– 39.1 mm). The bats emitted echolocation calls dominated by a broadband component with FMAXE 141 kHz (start frequency 199 kHz, end frequency 117 kHz), although a higher constant frequency component may have been missed because of sampling rate restrictions of the recording equipment.
Previous records from China: Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Sichuan and Yunnan, (Zhang, 1997; Wang, 2003).
Ecological Notes
Appears to have a very restricted distribution in southern China. Found only in small numbers in three caves.
