ORIGINAL DATA. — We did not capture any individual attributed to this species.

HABITATS AND DISTRIBUTION. — This species is considered a forestdependent species that inhabits montane and lowland forest (Happold 2013e as Hipposideros camerunensis). 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. 2008b).

REMARK. — We use the generic name Doryrhina based on the revision by Foley et al. (2017).
