Subspecies Hipposideros ruber subsp. ruber Noack 1893

Subspecies Hipposideros ruber subsp. guineensis K. Andersen 1906

Distribution: Senegal and Gambia to Ethiopia, south to Angola, Zambia, Malawi, and Mozambique; Bioko ( Equatorial Guinea); São Tomé and Principe.

Conservation: IUCN 2003 and IUCN / SSC Action Plan (2001) – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: bicolor species group. Included in caffer by Hill (1963 b), but clearly distinct; see Lawrence (1964), Kock (1969 a), Heller (1992), Jones et al. (1993), and Cotterill (2001 f). Subspecies limits are problematic, and it is possible that this complex includes more than one species.
