The striped leaf-nosed bat (Macronycteris vittata)[2] is a species of bat native to eastern and southern Africa.[3] It was formerly considered part of M. commersoni, which is now viewed as being restricted to Madagascar.[1][3] Both commersoni and it were formerly placed in the genus Hipposideros, but moved to the resurrected Macronycteris in 2017 on the basis of molecular evidence.[2]
