Habitat:
R. inops is mostly dependent on primary forest (Heaney et al. 1998) where it is common to abundant in lowland and montane forest, and only rarely found in secondary forest and mossy forest (Heaney 1991, Heaney et al. 1998, Rickart et al. 1993). It has, however, been reported in disturbed forest on Negros and in orchards on Mount Makiling (Luzon) (Sedlock 2001) and from mossy forest at 1,800-1,950 m asl in Balbalasang, Kalinga province, Luzon (Heaney et al. 2005).
Range:
The Philippine forest horseshoe bat is endemic to the Philippines and has been recorded from Biliran, Camiguin, Catanduanes, Cebu (Paguntalan pers. comm. 2006), Leyte, Luzon [throughout the island (L. Heaney pers. comm.)] (Cagayan [FMNH], Camarines Sur [USNM], Kalinga [FMNH], Laguna [FMNH], Nueva Vizcaya [FMNH], Pampanga [USNM], Quezon [FMNH], and Sorsogon [FMNH] provinces), Leyte (Southern Leyte province) (M.R. Duya, pers. Comm. 2018), Mindanao [Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur, Bukidnon, Compostela Valley (FMNH), Davao del Sur, South Cotabato (FMNH), Sultan Kudarat (FMNH), and Surigao del Sur provinces], Mindoro (M.R. Duya, pers. Comm. 2018, KU), Negros, Panay (Antique) (P.G. Jakosalem, pers. Comm.2018), Polillo, and Samar (KU) islands (Heaney et al. 1998, Gomez in litt. 2007), where it is found from sea level to 2,250 m asl (Heaney et al. 1998).
Conservation:
R. inops occurs in a number of protected areas. There is a need for taxonomic research into geographic variation in distinctive characters (L. Heaney pers. comm. 2006).
