Indeed, Eisentraut (1963) documented this species in the montane forest of Mount Cameroon at an altitude of 1400 m a. s. l. It has been recorded in two other localities in Africa: Shabunda in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo and at the Kakamega Forest in western Kenya (Mickleburgh et al. 2019). Being a forest-dependent species, it is probably threatened by ongoing forest degradation in its geographical range (Mickleburgh et al. 2008 b).","source":"Annotated checklist of bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) of Mount Cameroon, southwestern Cameroon","sourceTaxonKey":168149300},{"key":463840472,"taxonKey":10862803,"type":"materials_examined","language":"eng","description":"MATERIAL EXAMINED. — 14 specimens.

The Greater Leaf-nosed Bat has a distinctive noseleaf with two median clubshaped processes. Pelage is dense, long and soft blackish brown with pale frosting dorsally, and somewhat paler with inconspicuous frosting ventrally. Ears are long, narrow and pointed at tip. A frontal sac is present in both sexes. An anal sac is present between penis and anus in males. Females do not have this sac but fur around vagina has been replaced by long stiff hairs.
