The Chinese Rufous Horseshoe Bat forages for insects by aerialhawking and occasionally perch-hunting.	No information.	Chinese Rufous Horseshoe Bats roost in caves, old disused tunnels, temples, houses, wells, and hollows in trees. They leave their roosts just after dusk to forage through the night. In colder portions of their range, they hibernate through the winter. Calls are FM/CF/FM shaped with a peak GF recorded at c.79-87 kHz across China and Hainan , and at 80 kHz in Vietnam .	The Chinese Rufous Horseshoe Bat roosts singly ( usually males) or in colonies varying in size from a few individuals to several hundred. During the breeding season, females form large maternity colonies that can consist of several hundred bats.	Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The Chinese Rufous Horseshoe Bat is widespread and relatively common throughout its distribution, and does not seem to be facing any major threats currently. It may be locally threatened by roost disturbance and general habitat loss.	Ao Lei et al. (2007) | Bates & Harrison (1997) | Bates, Csorba, Molur & Srinivasulu (2008a) | Bates, Thi Mar-Mar et al.

Earlier listed under Rhinolophus rouxii Temminck, 1835 (Ellerman and Morrison-Scott 1951, Corbet and Hill 1992, Bates and Harrison 1997), now considered to be a distinct species (Thomas 1997, Thomas 2000, Srinivasulu and Srinivasulu 2001, Simmons 2005, Srinivasulu et al. 2012).	20000000	Rhinolophus sinicus	Least Concern		2019	2018-09-15 00:00:00 UTC	3.1	English	Listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution, large population, and because it is unlikely to be declining fast enough to qualify for listing in a more threatened category.	In South Asia, this species is commonly found in montane forests with heavy rainfall. It roosts in colonies or singly in caves, old disused tunnels, temples, houses, wells and hollows of trees (Molur et al. 2002). In Nepal, it has been found in disturbed forest far from any known caves (G. Csorba pers. comm.). In central Vietnam a specimen was found in a cave surrounded by degraded forest and farmland at 650 m asl. In northern Myanmar the species has been recorded from thick tropical moist forest with some bamboo vegetation (P. Bates pers. comm.).	In South Asia, the habitat of this species is being deforested for timber, firewood and conversion to agricultural use (Molur et al. 2002). There is little information available on threats to this species from the rest of its range.	In South Asia it is considered to be declining (Molur et al. 2002). It is reasonably common in southern China (Smith and Xie 2008, Mao et al. 2013, Xie et al. 2017).	Unknown	This species ranges from northern South Asia into northern Southeast Asia, and much of central, eastern, southern and southwestern China (Mao et al.  2013, Xie et al.  2017). In South Asia it has been recorded from India (Arunachal Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Sikkim, Uttaranchal and West Bengal) and Nepal (Central and Eastern Nepal) (Molur et al.  2002). In Southeast Asia it has been reported from northern Myanmar and Vietnam. In China, it is widely distributed, being reported from Yunnan, Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Hubei, Hunan, Shaanxi, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guizhou, Xizang, Fujian, Sichuan and Chongqing (Smith and Xie 2008, Mao et al.  2013, Xie et al.  2017). In South Asia it has been recorded from 500 to 2,769 m asl (Molur et al.  2002).		Terrestrial	There are no direct conservation measures in place for this species. In South Asia, the species has not been recorded from any protected areas. Ecology and population monitoring are the two main recommendations (Molur et al. 2002).
