Stoliczka's trident bat (Aselliscus stoliczkanus) is a species of bat in the family Hipposideridae. It is found in China, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Stoliczka's trident bat was described as a new species in 1871 by George Edward Dobson. The holotype had been collected by Ferdinand Stoliczka on Penang Island, Malaysia. Dobson placed it in the genus Asellia , with a scientific name of Asellia stoliczkanus. [3] In 1952, Colin Campbell Sanborn published a revision of the species, in which he considered multiple other names as synonymous, including Phyllorhina trifida and Triaenops wheeleri. Additionally, he revised its genus, moving it from Asellia to Aselliscus . [4]

The hairs on its back are bicolored, with the bases nearly white and the tips brown. The fur on the belly is paler in color. Its nose-leaf has three points on the upper edge, with two smaller leaflets on each side. [5]
