Habitat:
This species is associated with lowland tropical moist forest, possibly ranging into moist savanna habitats. It is a tree roosting species, known to occur in small numbers of up to three animals.
Range:
This species is distributed in West and Central Africa, where it has been patchily recorded from Guinea, Liberia (at Voinjama) and Côte d'Ivoire in the west, and from Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Central Africa (at Avakubi), with the southern-most record from northern Zambia (close to the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo).
Conservation:
Although there appear to be no direct conservation measures in place, it has been recorded from the Tai National Park in Côte d'Ivoire. Further studies are needed into the distribution, natural history and threats to this somewhat enigmatic species. There is a need to monitor to presence of this species at its known localities.
