Range:
Rhinolophus canuti is endemic to Indonesia and is known from several localities on Java, Bali (unpublished specimen, G. Csorba pers. comm.), Nusakambangan Island (southern of central Java), and Nusa Barong Island (Csorba et al. 2003, Semiadi et al. 2011). It has been found in the Gunungsewu Karst region, which includes Gunungkidul regency (Province of Yogyakarta Special Region), the Tuban karst region (East Java Province), the Gombong Karst region (Central Java), and some areas of Central Java Province and East Java Province (including Pacitan regency). The type locality for this species is Kallipoet-jang, Tji-Tangoi river, South Java, Indonesia.

Conservation:
Rhinolophus canuti is not known from any protected areas and there are no species-specific conservation initiatives for it. Further research is needed across the species range to further establish the species extant range and the species’ population status and trends. Further, research into the species ecology is needed to inform the establishment of a species conservation research plan.
