In general the species is found in lowland tropical moist forest, but has been encountered in both montane tropical moist forest and tropical dry forest. Rosevar (1965) indicates that the species is present in closed high forest. It is not known if the species can persist in degraded habitats. It may roost in tree hollows and similar habitats, however, this needs to be confirmed.

Range:
This African bat has been recorded from Guinea, Liberia, Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana in West Africa; and from Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo to western Uganda in Central Africa.

Conservation:
It is not known if the species is present within any protected areas. Additional studies are needed into the distribution, abundance, natural history and threats to this little known species.
