Habitat:
This species is strongly associated with moist areas and multistratal tropical evergreen forests, near rivers, and fruit groves and is rare in deciduous forest. These bats are believed to be primarily frugivorous feeding on fruits of understory shrubs, and they also eat insects (Eisenberg 1989, Tuttle 1970). They roost under tents made from palm and aroid leaves (Emmons and Feer 1997). Pregnant or lactating females have been found in April, May, June, July and December (Wilson 1979).
Range:
This species ranges across southern Colombia and Venezuela, the Guianas, Amazonian Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia, and northern Brazil to the central east coast (Eisenberg 1989, Koopman 1993) including Espírito Santo south of the Doce river (Zortea 1995). The altitudinal range is up to 1,400 m asl (Eisenberg 1989).
Conservation:
The recommended conservation action is to reduce habitat destruction. This species occurs in a number of protected areas.
