Habitat:
This bat feeds on nectar, insects (including beetles and moths) and probably fruit and pollen. It roosts in small groups in caves and cave-like structures. A roost was reported under a jungle of huge boulders along a stream. It is one of the most common long-tongued bats in parts of the Amazon basin. It is found in rainforest, gardens and plantations (Gardner 1977, Timm et al. 1989, Emmons and Feer 1997, Reid 1997). The gestation period is between March and April (Eisenberg 1989).
