Habitat:
This species is poorly known. Just like other species in the genus, it is insectivorous (Nowak 1999). It was netted inside humid forests and in gallery forests, always at low elevations. Baker et al. (1978) assumed the species roosts in trees of the gallery forests. It might have annual cycles of populations, or might follow preys (coleoptera) with annual population cycles. Its closest phylogenetic relative is E. fuscus (sensu lato), which is noticeably smaller (Baker et al. 1978).
Range:
This species has a limited known geographic range, it only occurs at the Basse-Terre Island, Guadeloupe (Lesser Antilles) (Simmons 2005).
Conservation:
Research actions are needed, including long-term surveys to assess changes in abundance through the year and protection of humid forests and gallery forests that are being impacted by changes in land use. Continuing the echolocation monitoring is highly recommended (Barataud and Giosa 2013).
