External characters (measurements included in Table 4): A medium-sized Rhinolophid, with an average forearm length of mm (range mm). The ears are larger than in R. sinicus averaging mm ( mm). The noseleaf is longer and broader, averaging mm in greatest height and mm in greatest width. The lancet is tall and narrowly pointed with relatively straight sides (Fig. 6b). The base of the sella is narrow in frontal view. In side view, the superior connecting process of the sella is more rounded than in R. sinicus, and the base does not project downwards. In the wing, R. rouxii has a longer forearm and longer metacarpals than in R. sinicus, however, the phalanges are shorter by an average of The pelage is soft and silky, and ranges from orange to buffy brown. Empirical evidence suggests a seasonal bias in colour with orange and rufous tints predominating from October to April and the paler phases being more common from May to September (Bates & Harrison 1997). Cranial and dental characters: The skull is more robust than in R. sinicus, with condylocanine length averaging 1
