Habitat:
This bat is poorly known. Caught in a mist net set across a stream through tall evergreen forest (Reid 1997). Probably its natural history is similar to other species of Lasiurus. It is assumed to be an aerial insectivore of uncluttered space on the basis of its morphology.

Range:
The species is known only from a few localities. It occurs in extreme southeastern Panama, but the extent of its range into northwestern Colombia is unknown; also occurs in French Guiana, northern and southern Brazil (Eisenberg 1989, Simmons 2005). Lowlands only (Reid 1997).

Conservation:
Research is required on distribution, abundance, basic ecology and threats.
