Habitat:
Ecology and habits are poorly known; usually found in lowland, evergreen forest near streams or moist areas, occasionally in clearings, second growth, or deciduous forest. They may fly at canopy levels (Reid 2009). Handley (1976) reported specimens caught in or near forest habitat, mainly adjacent to streams and river channels. They are frugivores and occasionally can feed on nectar.
Range:
This frugivorous bat is found in Central and South America. This bat occurs from Amazonian Brazil, Guianas, Panama, Venezuela, Trinidad, and Bonaire Island (Netherlands Antilles) (Simmons 2005). In Venezuela, the species occurs from lowlands to 2,100 m, but in Venezuela most have been taken below 1,500 m (Handley 1976).
Conservation:
Reduction of loss of forest habitats is needed.
