Males have frontal sac behind posterior leaf, whereas it is a tuft of hairs in females. Pelage varies from gray to bright orangebrown or yellowish-brown.

Diet includes mosquitoes, flies, beetles, and other low-flying insects. After leaving the roost, it has been found to revisit it several times during the night.	In Maharashtra , mating was observed from late December to mid-March. Females were found pregnant in May-July, giving birth to a single young from mid-May to midJune. Lactating females were captured until mid-September. However, reproductive cycle can be variable between sites—e.g. breeding season starts in mid-November in Bangalore; females give birth in September and October in Tamil Nadu . A single young was carried by its mother until its weight rose to 6 g . Females reach sexual maturity in 7-5-8 months, but this takes 16-17 months for males. Penis and scrotum of males are enlarged and thickened during the breeding season.	Schneider’s Leaf-nosed Bat can be found roosting in small crevices caves, tunnels, temples, and abandoned buildings. Echolocation of individuals from southern India is a typical CF/FM type, with a call frequency of the F segment of 131-135 kHz.	Schneider’s Leaf-nosed Bats are gregarious. Colony size can be as small as a few individuals to hundreds or even thousands. Males and females cohabit at the roost, and the size of the colonies is constant throughout the year.

This species is found in dry plains to forested hillsides in caves, caverns, underground cellars, old forts, palaces, under bridges, old disused buildings, temples, tunnels (Bates and Harrison 1997, Molur et al. 2002). It roosts in colonies ranging from a few to several hundreds of individuals (W. Yapa, B. Srinivasulu, pers. comm.). In India, individuals do not usually congregate in clusters and tend to be scattered, while in Sri Lanka they tend to be in close contact in roosts (Bates and Harrison 1997). It has a slow and low flight and hunts for insects close to the ground. The diet consists of coleopterans, dipterans, mosquitoes and other insects. A single young is born after a gestation period of 135-140 days (Bates and Harrison 1997).	In India, this species is locally threatened in parts of its range because of hunting for local consumption and medicinal purposes, persecution by fumigation, roost disturbance due to tourism related activities, stone quarrying, developmental activities such as tearing down old disused buildings leading to loss of roosting sites, no threats have been identified for Sri Lankan populations (Molur et al. 2002). In Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, roosts are often under threat from collection of bats for food and medicine (Srinivasulu, C. pers. obs. 2016), and in Maharashtra the species is threatened by disturbance from tourism and other human interferences (Bates and Harrison 1997).	This species is widespread and common in its range. It has been recorded from many locations in peninsular India and over 75 locations in Sri Lanka (Molur et al. 2002). In a study, W. Yapa (pers. comm.) has observed more than 600 individuals in a cave in Sri Lanka. Similarly, Bhargavi Srinivasulu and Chelmala Srinivasulu (pers. obs. 2017) observed between 500 to 1,000 individuals at several locations in Karnataka, India	Stable	This species is endemic to South Aisa and is presently known from India (Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Orissa, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, and Uttarakhand) and Sri Lanka (Central, Eastern, Sabaragamuwa, Southern, Uva and Western provinces) (Molur et al. 2002, Srinivasulu and Srinivasulu 2012). It has been recorded up to an elevation of 1,385 m asl.	This species is collected in some places in India for local consumption and for medicinal use.	Terrestrial	No direct conservation measures are currently needed for this widespread species. This species has been recorded from protected areas in India.	Indomalayan		FALSE	FALSE	Global	Simmons, N.
