The Bornean horseshoe bat was described as a new species in 1861 by German naturalist Wilhelm Peters.^[2]^[3] Peters recognized the type locality of the species as Labuan, Borneo. The specimen used to describe the species had been collected on an expedition by Fedor Jagor.^[2] Mammal Species of the World 3rd edition recognized four subspecies of R. borneensis:

It has a forearm length of 41.2–43.7 mm (1.62–1.72 in). Its ears have a length of 16–17 mm (0.63–0.67 in).^[3]
