Habitat:
It is found in mixed pristine deciduous forest in west Thailand, and in the south in pristine lowland dipterocarp forest (S. Bumrungsri pers. comm.). In Malaysia it is primarily found in lowland and hill forest, and found roosting in crevices in rock boulders, and other individuals have been found from palms in understory (Kingston et al. 2006).

Range:
This species occurs in Thailand, western Malaysia and adjacent small islands. It is also suspected to be  present in south Viet Nam but the exact locality is not known and so is not mapped here.

Conservation:
Three of the four populations in Thailand occur in protected areas (S. Bumrungsri pers. comm.) while there are records of this species in North and south of Peninsular Malaysia. Further research is needed on the range of the upper limit of this species in Isthmus of Kra and population status of this species.
