Macronycteris vittatus was previously considered conspecific with M. gigas and M. commersonii (under the latter name), and this has created much confusion in the records from old literature. It includes tnarungenris as a synonym. It is not clear whether there are any subspecies within this taxon as it is currently understood. Monotypic.	Widespread in the savanna regions of Africa, patchily N of the equator from Sierra Leone , Ivory Coast , Nigeria , Central African Republic , Ethiopia , Somalia , and Kenya ; S of the equator recorded from SE DR Congo , Tanzania , Angola , Zambia , Malawi , Namibia , Botswana , Zimbabwe , Mozambique , and extreme NE South Africa ; also in Zanzibar Archipelago ( Pemba , Unguja, and Mafia Is).	Head-body 97-122 mm, tail 22-39 mm, ear 23-35 mm, hindfoot 17-25 mm, forearm 84-106 mm; weight 51-180 g. Males are larger than females with latter being a richer reddish brown. The Striped Leaf-nosed Bat has a distinctive noseleaf that is divided into four cells on its posterior margin with three lateral leaflets. Pelage is dense and short, pale brown to reddish brown dorsally with patches of frosting particularly on head and nape. Fur is somewhat paler ventrally with frosting. Flanks and armpits are white, and there is dark band across shoulders. Ears are long and narrow. A frontal sac is present in both sexes. This species is difficult to distinguish from the Giant Leaf-nosed Bat ( M. gigas ), but is slightly smaller and paler. Karyotype is 2n = 52 ( South Africa ).	Wooded savanna and coastal forest, but may extend into drier savannas along rivers.	The Striped Leaf-nosed Bat is insectivorous, feeding predominantly on large beetles (Coleoptera), which it captures by sallying out from a perch; the bat then returns to its perch, where prey is consumed. Perches are in tall trees and typically C. 6 m aboveground. The bat scans through an arc of 180° and flies out to intercept prey passing within 10 m . Bats appear to get most of their foraging done within the first hour after sunset. They accumulate large reserves offat during the wet season.	A single young is bom during a restricted breeding season, which varies geographically. For 4-5 months leading up to the mating season males aggressively defend territories, with many males being wounded during these conflicts. Territorial behavior ends after the mating season. In Zimbabwe , mating takes place in June-July, during the dry season, and births occur in October-November, at the beginning of the rains. In Kenya , mating takes place inJuly-August and young are bom during the wet season in March-April. Females lactate for at least 13 weeks, and young can fly short distances at about two weeks of age. Females form maternity roosts after mating and while suckling their young.	The Striped Leaf-nosed Bat roosts predominantly in caves, but also in tall trees, usually in forested areas. During the cool dry season, it may remain inactive (but not torpid) at its roost for several days presumably taking advantage of accumulated fat reserves. Echolocation call includes a F component at c.62-66 kHz.	Some populations are migratory, for example in Kenya where they migrate between coastal areas and inland sites to take advantage of differences in rainfall (and presumably insect food supply). Individuals apparently forage singly, flying relatively short distances between roosting and foraging sites. Striped Leaf-nosed Bats typically roost in colonies of a few hundred individuals, but some roosts comprise tens of thousands.	Classified as Near Threatened on The IUCNRed List (as Hipposideros vittatus ) due to the fact that a large proportion of the global population roosts as large colonies in just a handful of caves, where this species is disturbed and hunted for food.

Accessed on [28 September, 2022].	135485	Macronycteris vittatus	ANIMALIA	CHORDATA	MAMMALIA	CHIROPTERA	HIPPOSIDERIDAE	Macronycteris	vittatus	Peters, 1852	This species was previously included under Hipposideros commersoni , now considered endemic to Madagascar (Monadjem et al. 2010). Historically, these large hipposiderids were grouped together and later divided into H. gigas and vittatus (Monadjem et al. 2010, Rakotoarivelo et al. 2015). In 2017 the commersoni species group was placed in a separate genus, Macronytceris (Foley et al. 2017). There is still confusion over the taxonomy of this group on mainland Africa with the potential presence of undescribed cryptic diversity.	20000000	Macronycteris vittatus	Near Threatened	A4cd	2020	2019-06-20 00:00:00 UTC	3.1	English	This species is listed as Near Threatened (nearly meets criterion A4cd) as its global population is suspected to have declined by 25-30% over the past 10 years (two generations) and will continue to decline over next 5 years (one generation; generation length ; = 5 years, Pacifici ;et al. ;2013) due to habitat loss and harvest, making it close to qualifying as Vulnerable under A4c. Although the species is still widely distributed, a large proportion of the global population of this species is found in a few very large cave roosting colonies that are threatened by forest loss and degradation and cave/mine loss, disturbance, and over harvest.	This species has been recorded from a variety of savanna habitat types, but avoids lowland rainforest. In East and southern Africa it seems to be largely associated with savanna woodland habitats (Skinner and Chimimba 2005). In West Africa this species has been recorded from the transition zone between forest and savanna (Decher et al.  2010, Fahr and Kalko 2011). The species can occur locally in very large numbers (thousands of individuals) where suitable cave habitats are available, however, animals have been recorded (presumably in considerably smaller numbers) roosting in tree canopies, hollow trees and dense vegetation (Skinner and Chimimba 2005, Monadjem et al.  2010). This bat has been recorded flying among and within buildings, and roosting under the eaves of buildings (Skinner and Chimimba 2005).	Although the species is still widely distributed, a large proportion of the global population of this species is found in a few very large cave roosting colonies that are threatened by forest loss and degradation and cave/mine loss, disturbance, and over harvest. A number of the major colonies are threatened by the mining of limestone caves, disturbance by tourists, and subsistence overhunting, particular for the use of their fat for making candles (this species stores particularly large amounts of fat in its body [Churchill et al. 1997]).	The global population is estimated to have declined in the past and will continue to decline in the future; it is suspected that the population will undergo a reduction of 25-30% over the three generation period from 2009 to 2024. This species is historically known to exist in a few large roosts, containing tens of thousands of individuals, which seasonally migrate considerable distances. Some roosts that have been continuously used over decades, and perhaps much longer, appear to have been lost. In some areas the species roosts in smaller colonies.	Decreasing	This species has mainly been recorded from East Africa and southern Africa with scattered records from West Africa and Central Africa. In East Africa the species ranges from Ethiopia and Somalia in the north, through Kenya and Tanzania to Malawi, Zambia and Mozambique. In southern Africa it has been recorded in Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia and marginally in northeastern South Africa. In Central Africa there are patchy records from Angola, eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo and Central African Republic. In West Africa the species currently appears to limited to a few records from Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Sierra Leone but may have been under-reported from this region. It has been recorded from around sea level to 1,700 m asl.	This species' fat is used in the manufacture of candles for local use.	Terrestrial	This species is present in a number of protected areas in East Africa, it has been recorded from Tsavo National Park in Kenya. In southern Africa it has been recorded from the Kruger National Park in Limpopo Province, South Africa and from Gorongosa National Park, Mozambique (Monadjem et al. 2010). The Gorongosa site also includes a large roost in a natural cave network. There is a need to protect important roosting sites of this species, and to limit collection of animals to sustainable levels. Additional studies are needed into the identity of populations currently allocated to Hipposideros vittatus .	Afrotropical		FALSE	FALSE	Global	Simmons, N. B., & Cirranello, A. L. (2023).
