Habitat:
This species is colonial and roosts in caves, often together with other bats species. A female with one embryo was caught in January; and a pregnant female captured in June (Genoways et al. 2005). Its diet consists of fruit, pollen, nectar and perhaps insects (Nowak 1999); captive individuals thrived on a diet of bananas, mangoes, papayas and various kinds of canned fruit nectars (Nowak 1999).
Range:
This species is known only from Jamaica (Simmons 2005).
Conservation:
Habitat conservation, monitoring of St. Clair Cave and active surveys at other hot caves are recommended.
