Shortridge's horseshoe bat is a medium-sized horseshoe bat native to north-east India, northern Myanmar and southern China. It has a long mandible and a nose-leaf that does not completely cover its nostril, and brown fur with a relatively pale underside (Wikipedia, general species account).

The cached account is short and gives no measurements, habitat, diet or breeding information, so this entry is limited to identification and range (Wikipedia, general species account).
