Habitat:
This species is poorly known. It is insectivorous (Nowak 1999). It is found in Cuban dry forests (McGinley 2007), as well as in disturbed habitats and secondary forests (Mancina pers. comm.). It is partially associated with the palm Copernicia gigas for diurnal roosts (Mancina 2012). Also, it uses man-made edifications for roosts, but might be less successful than other sympatric species, like Molossus molossus.
Range:
This species is endemic to Cuba (Simmons 2005), mostly on the east-central region (Mancina 2012).
Conservation:
The recommended conservation action is to avoid habitat loss. Research is needed regarding the population, threats and habitats.
