Habitat:
This species inhabits primary and secondary forest. Diurnal roosts include hollow bamboos, young leaves of bananas, hollow trees and rock crevices. Payne et al. (1985) mention that the species roosts in caves, sometimes in colonies of several hundred individuals. It uses perches to feed.

Range:
This species is known from all of Borneo (although it has yet to be confirmed in Brunei) Viet Nam, Cambodia, Lao PDR, the Malay Peninsula (Simmons 2005, Shazali et al. 2018),from several locations in Java, including Yogyakarta, Nusakambanagan Island just off south central Java, Labuan and Banguey Islands, Karimata Islands, and South Natuna Islands, and Sumatra, Indonesia. It is suspected to occur in Thailand but has yet to be confirmed there.

Conservation:
It is recorded in many protected areas across its distribution in Southeast Asia. Further taxonomic studies are required to examine specimens that are found in Vietnam and the many Indonesian islands due to disjunct distribution to determine the distribution limits of the species.
