Habitat:
This is a species of moist lowland rainforest, tropical dry forest, and swamp forest. Other members of the genus have been found to roost in vegetation.
Range:
There are scattered records of this poorly known bat from West and Central Africa. It has apparently been reported from Guinea, Côte d'Ivoire, Liberia, possibly Ghana (though see Koopman et al. 1995; Grubb et al. 1998), Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (though see Hayman and Hill 1971). It is found up to 600 m asl. A record of this species from Kenya was based on a specimen subsequently re-identified as Kerivoula smithii (J. Fahr pers. comm.).
Conservation:
It is unclear if this species is present in any protected areas. Additional studies are needed into the taxonomy, distribution, natural history and threats to this little known bat.
