The type came from Ternate in the Molucca Archipelago : the present 

 specimens differ somewhat from the type, which is in the National 

 Collection, but the material is not sufficient on which to base a strict 

 diagnosis. 



["Said to hide by day among thick foliage, clinging to the under side of 

 leaves, where their bright colours would have a protective resemblance to 

 dead leaves. 



" Apparently very widely distributed, although somewhat rare every- 

 where. 



"The brilliant orange of the wing membranes fades almost immediately 

 after death. This colour seems to vary in shade in individuals from Java."

 ["Fairly plentiful in old Hindu Temples at Gadag and Lakundi, some- 

 times found in company with Sipposideros dukhunensis although not in such 

 large numbers. All were enormously fat, especially this species, in which 

 it is manifested in the form of swellings at the root of the tail present in 

 both sexes, but more particularly in the males. At certain times of the 

 year these swellings are developed to such an extent as to interfere with 

 the flight of the bats."— G.O.S.]
