Habitat:
This species is poorly known. This frugivore inhabits a variety of dry and humid tropical and subtropical forests at elevations up to 1,000 m, but is more commonly found below 500 m (Gardner 2008). In Venezuela it prefers moist habitats and multistratal evergreen tropical forest (Handley 1976). The type specimen from Trinidad was caught in a well-lit cave (Goodwin and Greenhal 1961). Found in evergreen forest and forest openings; it probably travels in the canopy or subcanopy, as it is seldom caught in nets set at understory level (Reid 2009).
Range:
This species is distributed from Costa Rica (LaVal and Rodriguez-H 2002) south to Amazonian Brazil, Guianas, Suriname, Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru; Trinidad (Simmons 2005). In Venezuela, it occurs at low elevations, below 1,000 m (Handley 1976).
Conservation:
Reduce loss of forest habitat is needed. It is found in protected areas.
