Habitat:
Nothing is known about the habitat or ecology of this species (Molur et al. 2002). It might be a cave roosting species, but this needs to be confirmed.

Range:
This species is endemic to India. It is presently known only from the type locality, Chaibassa in Jharkhand (Molur et al. 2002), at an elevation of 300 m. Recent surveys by Y.P. Sinha did not yield any new records of this species from the type locality (Molur et al. 2002).

Conservation:
Very little is known about this species, hence surveys, ecological studies and habitat evaluation are recommended (Molur et al. 2002).
