Two subspecies recognized.	R d. denti Thomas, 1904 - SW Angola , N Namibia , NW & SW Botswana , and N South Africa ( Northern Cape Province ). There is an unconfirmed record from SW Republic of the Congo .

There is apparently a specimen from S South Sudan that might represent this subspecies, although its identity needs to be validated.	Head-body c . 44-60 mm , tail 17-24 mm , ear 14—21 mm , hindfoot 9 10 mm , forearm 37-44 mm ; weight 4—9 g . Pelage is pale brown or buff to pale gray or cream dorsally (hairs are almost unicolored or very pale, with brown/gray tips) and white, off-white, or pale gray ventrally; orange morph is bright orange dorsally and slightly paler ventrally. Color is usually darker in subspecies knorri. Males lack axillary tufts. Ears are comparatively short (38-48% of forearm length). Noseleaf has subtriangular and relatively short lancet that is covered in fine hairs, being slightly concave on sides, with bluntly pointed tip; connecting process is rounded and about the height of sella tip; sella is naked, with almost parallel to slightly concave sides and broad and rounded top; lobes at base of sella are comparatively low; horseshoe is narrow at 6-8— 7- 5 mm , nearly covers muzzle, and has no lateral leaflets; and anterior emargination is a distinct notch. Lower lip has three grooves. Wings and uropatagium are grayish black or brown. Skull is delicately built, with thin zygomatic arches, and zygomatic width is equal to or slightly larger than mastoid width; nasal swellings are rounded; frontal depression is shallow and supraorbital ridges are weakly developed; and sagittal crest is poorly developed anteriorly and absent posteriorly. P 2 is small but in tooth row, well separating C1 and P4; C1 is conspicuously shorter and smaller than C1; and P3 is minute and fully displaced labially, allowing contact between P2 and P4. Chromosomal complement has 2n = 58 and FNa = 62 ( South Africa ).	Variable woodland habitats, including undifferentiated and Isoberlinia ( Fabaceae ) woodlands, and rainforest-savanna mosaic habitats in West Africa, and desert and semiarid habitats such as Bushy Karoo-Namib shrubland, Kalahari Acacia ( Fabaceae ) wooded grasslands, and areas of the Namib Desert in southern Africa. Presence of roosts seems to be an indicator of which habitats Dent’s Horseshoe Bats are found in. Roosts in southern Africa are found primarily in deep parts of caves, where colonies have been found hanging from stalactites ( Drotsky’s Caves, Botswana ) and in complete darkness. Roosts have also been found in thatched roofs and culverts under roads. In Western Africa, roosts have been reported in caves, under a bridge, and in a hollow Kapok tree ( Ceiba pentandra , Malvaceae ).	Dent’s Horseshoe Bats are insectivorous.	No information.	Dent’s Horseshoe Bats are nocturnal. At low temperatures (mean of 24 - 4°C ), they enter daily torpor in Namibia , sheltering in humid cave microclimates.

Dent’s Horseshoe Bats roost alone or in groups of two to dozens of individuals. They hang in open clusters in which a few individuals hang near one another but do not touch.

This species is typically associated with savanna habitats. Populations are largely dependent on caves, abandoned mines and similar habitats for roosting (Herselman and Norton 1985), although they have also been found roosting in hollow trees (M.N. Morton in litt . in Grubb et al . 1998).	There appear to be no major threats to this species. It might be locally threatened in parts of its range by disturbance to roosting caves.	The species is known from fewer than 100 in colonies in West Africa, and fewer than 200 colonies in southern Africa.	Unknown	This species is widely, but patchily, recorded in West and southern Africa. It ranges from southeastern Senegal, through northern parts of West Africa to northeastern Ghana; in Central Africa it appears to have only been recorded from eastern Congo and southern Angola; in southern Africa, it is present in Namibia, northwestern and southwestern Botswana and northern parts of South Africa.		Terrestrial	There appear to be no direct conservation measures in place. It is not known if the species is present in any protected areas. Further studies are needed into the distribution of this species (particularly in West and Central Africa).	Afrotropical		FALSE	FALSE	Global	Simmons, N. B., & Cirranello, A. L. (2023).
