Head-body 65-75 mm , tail 37-48 mm , ear 21-34 mm , hindfoot 12- 1-18 mm , forearm 54-9—64- 3 mm . Fur is long and woolly ; dorsal and ventral pelage is dark brown or black (hairs with paler tips). Ears are blackish and of medium length. Noseleaf is dark brown or blackish, and has long and pointed or rounded lancet; connecting process is relatively low and broadly rounded; sella is broad and widely rounded off with large circular lateral lappets on either side of base; horseshoe is very wide ( 11 mm ), covering muzzle, and has wide median emargination. Lower lip has one mental groove. Skull is robust (zygomatic breadth is larger than mastoid breadth); anterior median swellings are elongated but do not expand anteriorly to upper edge of nasal orifice, formed by a protruding bony rim; posterior swellings are more laterally situated; frontal depression is deep and long; supraorbital crests are sharp; sagittal crest is very well developed; canines are strong but relatively short. P2 is medium-sized and within tooth row or slightly displaced; P4 is small to medium-sized and extruded from the tooth row to a variable degree; P2 and P4 are almost in contact. Chromosomal complement has 2n = 32 and FN = 60.	Mainly found in dense dry and tropical moist forests. Elevational range is from sea level up to elevations of 1070 m .	Beddome’s Woolly Horseshoe Bat feeds on a variety of insects especially beetles and termites. It flies low over the ground while foraging, and will forage close to vegetation.	A pregnant female with one embryo was collected in mid-January in Sri Lanka . Young have been reported with females in Kerala , India , in mid-May , and in Sri Lanka in mid-March and late April. Females may not breed until two or three years old.	Beddome’s Woolly Horseshoe Bat roosts by day in small caves, dilapidated buildings, tree hollows, wells, culverts, and old and unused tunnels, or clings from overhanging rocky outcrops. It emerges late in the evening from its roosts to forage through the night. Call shape is FM/CF/FM with a peak F recorded at 38-5—38-7 kHz and durations of 48-2—58 milliseconds in the Western Ghats of India ; another study in the Western Ghats reported peak frequencies of 41-7-43-3 kHz (mean 42-8 kHz) and durations of 1-4-51-5 milliseconds (mean 25-2 milliseconds). A recording inside a cave in Sri Lanka produced peak frequencies of 41—62-5 kHz but this huge range must be an error, perhaps including more than one species.	Beddome’s Woolly Horseshoe Bat roosts alone or in pairs, or sometimes in groups of three or four individuals.	Classified as Least Concern on TheIUCNRed List. Beddome’s Woolly Horseshoe Bat is relatively widespread and common throughout much of its distribution. However, in Sri Lanka the species is regionally listed as Vulnerable according to the National Red List for the country , and is mostly restricted to old-growth forests with small populations. The species appears to be threatened most by deforestation for logging and agricultural expansion.	Bates & Harrison (1997) | Csorba et al. (2003) | Edirisinghe et al. (2016) | Koubfnovà et al.

Earlier, the taxa beddomei Andersen 1905 and sobrinus Andersen, 1918 were included under Rhinolophus luctus Temminck, 1835 (Ellerman and Morrison-Scott 1951, Corbet and Hill 1992, Koopman 1993). Here Rhinolophus beddomei Andersen, 1905 is treated as a distinct species (Topál and Csorba 1992, Bates and Harrison 1997, Simmons 2005, Srinivasulu and Srinivasulu 2012).	20000000	Rhinolophus beddomei	Least Concern		2019	2018-08-31 00:00:00 UTC	3.1	English	Listed as Least Concern because, it is widely but patchily distributed being uncommon in occurrence in its range, and although its habitat is under some threat, and because it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category.	This species is primarily a found in dense dry and tropical moist forests. It roosts either as solitary animals or in pairs in caves, old temples, old forts, dilapidated buildings, old unused bunglows, large trees with hollows, wells, old and unused tunnels (B. Srinivasulu and C. Srinivasulu pers. obs. 2016). Seen cohabiting caves with Rhinolopus lepidus and Rhinopoma hardwickii (B. Srinivasulu and C. Srinivasulu pers. obs. 2017). This is a low flyer and feeds on a variety of insects especially beetles and termites (Bates and Harrison 1997).	As this species is a deep forest dweller no direct threats as such to the species or its habitat are recorded. The forests where this species has been recorded are protected and are in good condition.	Though this is a widely distributed species, the overall population is considered to be relatively small because of its great dependence on forest habitats and vulnerability to habitat destruction (Molur et al. 2002). Individuals with a single pup have been observed (Bhargavi Srinivasulu pers. obs. 2017).	Stable	This species is endemic to South Asia. It is presently known from India (Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Maharashtra) and Sri Lanka (Central, North Central, Southern and Western provinces) in South Asia (Molur et al. 2002, Srinivasulu and Srinivasulu 2012, Srinivasulu et al. 2015). It has been recorded from sea level to an elevation of around 800 m asl. The extent of occurrence is greater than 20,000 km² and the area of occupancy is greater than 2,000 km² (Molur et al. 2002).		Terrestrial	Although there are no direct conservation measures in place, the species has been recorded from a number of protected areas in India like Chinnar Wildlife Sanctuary in Kerala, Gundla Brahmeshwaram Wildlife Sanctuary in Andhra Pradesh, and Brahmagiri Wildlife Sanctuary in Karnataka and Parambikulam Tiger Reserve in Kerala (B. Srinivasulu, pers. obs. 2016). Further studies are needed to know the true distribution extent, abundance, reproduction and ecology of this species.	Indomalayan		FALSE	FALSE	Global	Simmons, N.
