Habitat:
It roosts in caves and buildings and in dry open terrain such as the semi-desert grassland of the Awash National Park (Hill and Morris 1971). It flies close to the ground catching insects.
Range:
This species has a restricted known range in northeastern Africa, from central Ethiopia north to Eritrea, and also from islands in the Red Sea including Farasan Island and Segid Island (=As-Saqid) of southwestern Saudi Arabia. It probably occurs more widely in this poorly explored region.
Conservation:
It occurs in the Awash National Park. Surveys are needed to determine the distribution of this species, both in northeastern Africa and in the Arabian peninsula.
