Habitat:
Animals have been reported from caves and other subterranean locations in dry and moist savanna habitats. The specimen from Nigeria was 'mist-netted in the Sudan savanna, in a region of short grass and acacia bush, with some silk cotton trees, near the River Benue' (Hill et al. 1988).

Range:
This species has only been recorded from two very disjunct sites, the type locality of 'Didessa River mouth, Walaga' in Ethiopia (Hill and Morris 1971) and from Numan, Adamawa Province, in northeastern Nigeria (Hill et al. 1988).

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