Habitat:
It is strongly associated with multistratal tropical evergreen forest and moist sites. It is basically frugivorous and roosts in small groups of three to 10 in leafy tangles, tree hollows or caves. Reproduction usually coincides with the onset of the rainy season and varies locally (Eisenberg 1989).
Range:
This species is confined to lowland areas (Patterson pers. comm.) of northern South America in the Amazonian portion of Brazil, the Guianas, southern Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador and Amazonian Peru and Bolivia (Eisenberg 1989, Koopman 1993). Its westernmost limit is the flank of the Andes.
Conservation:
The recommended conservation action is to reduce habitat loss.
