Habitat:
This species is typically associated with savanna habitats. Populations are largely dependent on caves, abandoned mines and similar habitats for roosting (Herselman and Norton 1985), although they have also been found roosting in hollow trees (M.N. Morton in litt. in Grubb et al. 1998).
Range:
This species is widely, but patchily, recorded in West and southern Africa. It ranges from southeastern Senegal, through northern parts of West Africa to northeastern Ghana; in Central Africa it appears to have only been recorded from eastern Congo and southern Angola; in southern Africa, it is present in Namibia, northwestern and southwestern Botswana and northern parts of South Africa.
Conservation:
There appear to be no direct conservation measures in place. It is not known if the species is present in any protected areas. Further studies are needed into the distribution of this species (particularly in West and Central Africa).
