Habitat:
This species is associated with tropical moist lowland forest, but possibly marginally occurs in modified habitats. Happold (1987) records that it seems to be solitary and has been found singly clinging to the bark of a tree, among the leaves of plantains and in the roof of a rubber packing shed.
Range:
This bat is distributed in West and Central Africa. It has been recorded from Ghana in the west, through parts of Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to western Uganda in the east.
Conservation:
There appear to be no direct conservation measures in place. It is not known if the species is present in any protected areas. Further research is needed into the species distribution, natural history, and adaptability to habitat degradation.
