Habitat:
This is a forest-dependent species that roosts in caves, tree hollows (Krisanti et al. 2017, and similar structures. Surveys in the Javan Karst ecosystem recorded the species mostly in cave habitats. It is believed to live in small groups of less than five individuals and has been found to roost singularly or in pairs in caves (I. Maryanto pers. comm.).
Range:
Nycteris javanica is endemic to Indonesia (Corbet and Hill 1992) and has been recorded from Java, Nusa Penida, the Kangean Islands (Bergmans and van Bree 1986, Simmons 2005),Bali (Kitchner 1991), Madura Island, and West Timor (I. Maryanto pers. comm.). There are two erroneous records of this species, one from Bali (Kock and Dobat 2000) and one from Timor (Corbet and Hill 1992).
Conservation:
This species has been recorded from several protected areas in Java, such as Pangandaran, Gunung Pangrango, Bogor Botanical Garden and Purwodadi Botanical Garden. Additional research is needed to clarify the species distribution, population status and trends, ecology, and habitat.
