The Formosan woolly horseshoe bat is a species of bat from the family Rhinolophidae. It is endemic to Taiwan and occurs in primary forests in low to middle altitudes of central areas of Taiwan.[1] Its roosting locations include caves, buildings, tunnels, and irrigation conduits.[1] The species is listed as Near Threatened by the IUCN Red List, and it almost qualifies as a threatened species under criteria B1: extent of occurrence for geographic range.[1] Its population is decreasing due to deforestation in Taiwanese lowlands, although it occurs in at least one protected area.[1] The Formosan woolly horseshoe bat was formerly considered to be a subspecies of the woolly horseshoe bat, but is distinct.[2]
