Records of this species are from primary lowland forest up to the lower limits of montane forest. There are several reports from caves and one from a tree buttress (Taylor, 1934; Heaney et al. 1991; Rickart et al. 1993; Heaney et al. 1998; Heaney et al. 2004). It has also been found frequently in heavily disturbed agricultural areas if there is second-growth vegetation near the caves where the bats roost (L. Heaney pers. comm. 2007).
