Range Description: This very widespread species ranges from South Asia, through southern China, and much of mainland Southeast Asia. In South Asia it is known from Bangladesh (Sylhet division), India (Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Nicobar Islands, Tamil Nadu, Sikkim and West Bengal) and Nepal (Western Nepal) (Molur et al. 2002). In China, it has been recorded from Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, Hunan, and Hainan island (Smith and Xie 2008). In Southeast Asia, the species ranges through Myanmar, Thailand, Lao PDR, Cambodia, Viet Nam and northern Peninsular Malaysia.

Population [top]
Population: The abundance, population size and trends for this species are not known in South Asia (Molur et al. 2002). In Southeast Asia the species is common throughout its range. In northern Myanmar, the population seems to be stable (K.M. Swe pers. comm., Molur et al. 2002).

Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: Although Hipposideros pomona is widespread, little is known about the habitat or ecology of this species except that it roosts in small colonies of a few individuals in caves and crevices in subterranean habitats (Molur et al. 2002, Bates and Harrison 1997). In Southeast Asia it roosts predominantly though not exclusively in caves, and is considered to be very tolerant modified habitats and can even occur in urban areas.
Systems: Terrestrial
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): There are no major threats to this species as a whole. In South Asia, the habitat of this species is under threat from human activities in Nepal. In northern Myanmar some colonies are threatened by hunting for local consumption as food and medicine, and due to tourism related developmental activities (K.M. Swe pers. comm., Molur et al. 2002).
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: The species is present in a number of protected areas in Southeast Asia. Research into the taxonomy, distribution, abundance, reproduction, ecology, population monitoring and habitat management are needed (Molur et al. 2002).
