ward-curving rostral profile of R. lepidus). Taking into consideration of the lecto­type specimen of the former and the variability of both species, this character is not typical or uniform, and cannot be used for distinction of the two species. The de­velopment of the posterior median swellings (which affects the shape of the rostral profil) is either a variable feature of both species or it has a taxonomical signifi­cance not fully understood as yet. Rhinolophus lepidus shortridgei ANDERSEN, 1918 The description of this taxon as a subspecies of R. lepidus from Upper Burma (Myanmar) was published by OLDFIELD THOMAS on behalf of ANDERSEN (1918), Figs 1-3. Lateral views of rostral parts of skulls from the original type series of R. pusillus: 1 = RMNH 35181,2 = RMNH 35177 lectotype. 3 = R. borneensis (MNB 2533.1, holotype). Scale = 3 mm
