Habitat:
This species is poorly known. It is insectivorous (Nowak 1999, Ceballos 2014), but the details of their diet are unknown. All the specimens collected during a field trip in 1976 were captured in mist nets set over small trickling pools in arroyos on the Islas Tres Marias. If this species behaves similar to other species in the genus (high-flight insectivores, roosting on caves or hollows, preying on insects around forests), it can be inferred that its habitat must be natural forest cover with enough structures available for day roosts.

Range:
This species is endemic of Mexico, only occurs in Tres MarĂ­as Islands, with records on coastal Nayarit (Simmons 2005, Ceballos and Oliva 2005, Ceballos 2014).

Conservation:
The species occurs in a protected area, Islas Marias (Reserve of the Biosphere).
