Habitat:
This species usually is found in dry thornscrub, also in deciduous forest and banana groves (Reid 2009). Its biology is poorly known. A small group (1 male, 8 females, and 5 young) was found roosting in a building. Individuals have also been caught over streams and in banana groves. A birth peak may occur in June-July (Reid 2009).

Range:
This species is known from the Pacific versant of El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua (Simmons 2005). It occurs from lowlands to 1,100 m (Dolan and Carter 1979). It was suggested as present in Guatemala (Cajas pers. comm.), but a recent revision (Kraker-CastaƱeda et al. 2016) did not list this species.

Conservation:
The species may be found in protected areas. Research actions are needed.
