Habitat:
The holotype was collected in an abandoned mine.

Range:
This species is known only from the type specimen collected in 1962 from Tsushima Island, Japan (Kawai 2015). There is also a possibility that a bat collected on Yaku Island belongs to the same species (Kawai 2015).

Conservation:
This species urgently requires additional surveys, covering the entire island (particularly in the fragments of primary forest remaining in the north and south), and ideally using other trapping techniques (mist-netting is not appropriate). This species is listed as Data Deficient (DD) in the Japanese Red List (2014) (Ministry of the Environment 2014).
