“…= 81, P < 0.01). However, previous examination of skull and nose‐leaf size revealed R. thomasi to be distinct from both other taxa (Bates et al ., ). More unexpectedly, the newly‐sampled bats from Vietnam initially identified as R. s. sinicus also showed subtle morphological differences from R. s. sinicus and R. thomasi (V. Thong, unpubl.…”

Phylogenetic discordance among taxa can provide powerful insights into past episodes of introgressive hybridization, as well as lineage sorting. Previously, we showed that the taxonomically distinct taxon Rhinolophus sinicus septentrionalis has undergone historical introgression with its sympatric sister subspecies Rhinolophus sinicus sinicus. To examine in more detail the extent of gene flow between these two taxa, and also between these and their sister species Rhinolophus thomasi, we obtained new samples from China, Myanmar, and Vietnam, and combined new and published genetic data from these, Rhinolophus rouxii, and Rhinolophus indorouxii from India. Phylogenetic analyses revealed three separate cases of discordance: between R. s. septentrionalis and adjacent populations of R. s. sinicus, between R. s. septentrionalis and R. thomasi and between eastern populations of R. s. sinicus and a newly-identified lineage. In both former cases, the mitochondrial DNA introgression appears to be asymmetric, which is likely to have resulted from mating between R. s. septentrionalis females with smaller R. s. sinicus and R. thomasi males, although we cannot rule out other scenarios completely. Further conflicts between genetic data and accepted species arrangements across the genus, with paraphyly of members of the rouxii-group, suggest the need for a thorough systematic revision of relationships within this group.

Patterns of sexual size dimorphism in horseshoe bats: Testing Rensch’s rule and potential causes

Rensch’s rule, stating that sexual size dimorphism (SSD) becomes more evident and male-biased with increasing body size, has been well supported for taxa that exhibit male-biased SSD. Bats, primarily having female-biased SSD, have so far been tested for whether SSD allometry conforms to Rensch’s rule in only three studies. However, these studies did not consider phylogeny, and thus the mechanisms underlying SSD variations in bats remain unclear. Thus, the present study reviewed published and original data, including body size, baculum size, and habitat types in 45 bats of the family Rhinolophidae to determine whether horseshoe bats follow Rensch’s rule using a phylogenetic comparative framework. We also investigated the potential effect of postcopulatory sexual selection and habitat type on SSD. Our findings indicated that Rensch’s rule did not apply to Rhinolophidae, suggesting that SSD did not significantly vary with increasing size. This pattern may be attributable interactions between weak sexual selection to male body size and strong fecundity selection for on female body size. The degree of SSD among horseshoe bats may be attributed to a phylogenetic effect rather than to the intersexual competition for food or to baculum length. Interestingly, we observed that species in open habitats exhibited greater SSD than those in dense forests, suggesting that habitat types may be associated with variations in SSD in horseshoe bats.

“…Among members of the philippinensis group, R. macrotis is more broadly distributed than other members, occurring in the Philippines, Sumatra, Malay Peninsula, Vietnam, Thailand, Lao PDR, Myanmar, China, Nepal, India, and Pakistan. It includes six subspecies (Bates and Harrison, 1997;Heaney et al, 1998;Francis et al, 1999;Csorba et al, 2003;Bates et al, 2004): the nominotypical subspecies, R. macrotis macrotis, in Nepal and India, originally described from Nepal (restricted to the Katmandu Valley by Scully [1887]) (also see Csorba and Bates, 1995); R. macrotis hirsutus Andersen, 1905, in the Philippines, originally described from Guimaras Island; R. macrotis dohrni Andersen, 1907, in Sumatra and Malaysia, originally described from Soekaranda, Deli, northwest Sumatra; R. macrotis episcopus Allen, 1923, in Sichuan Province and Chongqing City in China, originally described from Wanhsien, east of Sichuan Province (now Chongqing City); R. macrotis caldwelli Allen, 1923, in southeastern China (Fujian and Guangxi Provinces) and Vietnam, originally described from Yuki, Fujian Province, China; and R. macrotis topali Csorba and Bates, 1995, in Pakistan, originally described from Kakul Phosphate Mine, Abbotabad.…”

A new species of the Rhinolophus philippinensis group (Chiroptera: Rhinolophidae) is described from Guangdong, Guangxi, and Jiangxi Provinces in China. Rhinolophus huananus n. sp. is characterized by the horseshoe, as well as by external and cranial characteristics that separate it at the species level from the other members of the philippinensis group. One of the small species of the philippinensis group, R. huananus is intermediate in size between smaller R. siamensis and larger R. macrotis.
