Habitat:
This species has been recorded from both dry and moist savanna habitats. The type locality is reportedly from Guinea woodland (Grubb et al. 1998).
Range:
This little known species has been recorded from a few localities in West and Central Africa. It has been reported from Sierra Leone, Ghana, Benin and Nigeria and Cameroon. There are also uncertain records from east Sudan and Uganda, although the specimens in question are difficult to certainly allocate to Pipistrellus inexspectatus (Koopman 1975). The records of this species from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Kenya are now allocated to Pipistrellus eisentrauti (Koopman et al. 1995; Simmons 2005).
Conservation:
It is not known if the species is present in any protected areas. Further field surveys are needed to better understand the distribution, natural history and possible threats to this little known bats species.
