Head is dorso-ventrally flattened and broadened. Dorsal pelage is thick, short, and shiny golden brown with a variably reddish hue; ventral pelage is slightly lighter and very sparsely furred with pink skin. Juveniles are typically darker and less reddish. Muzzle, ears, and membranes are hairless and dark brown. Ears are subtriangular, relatively long with a broadly rounded tip; tragusis short and blunt. Base of thumbs and soles of hindfeet have well-developed rounded fleshy pads for gripping smooth surfaces; these pads are extremely smooth and are made up of 40% epidermis, a small layer of dermis, and a thicker layer of subcutaneous fat. Wing membrane attaches at base of metatarsus; uropatagium extends to tip oftail, and calcar is over halfway to tail from ankle. Skull is small, very broad, and flattened; nasal emargination is shorter than in any of the greater bamboo bats; rostrum is short; there is no sagittal crest; lambdoid crests are very well developed.

Chromosomal complement has 2n = 46 and FN = 56 ( Malaysia ); and 2n = 30 and FN = 56 ( Guangdong , China ).	Primary tropical deciduous forests with abundant bamboo. Recorded from sea level up to 1262 m in India , and up to 1220 m in Malaysia .	Indomalayan Lesser Bamboo Bats appear to forage in areas highly cluttered with vegetation; they catch insects in the mouth and eat them on the wing. In Guangxi, diet consisted largely of Hymenoptera (53-4% by volume), Diptera (29%), and Coleoptera (13:4%) with smaller amounts of Hemiptera (2:1%), Homoptera, Blattodea , and Embioptera. They have been observed feeding on termite swarms in Malaysia . There is seasonal variation in the diet, and in Guangxi they progressively fed more on Hymenoptera and less on Diptera from spring to autumn; percentage volume of Coleoptera in diet decreased to its lowest point in May, and diet seemed to be most varied in March and April, when no food item made up over 50% of the total volume; from May to October, Hymenoptera made up over 50% of diet. In the submandibular glands of this species, a bacteria was reported which may aid in digestion, but further research is needed.	Indomalayan Lesser Bamboo Bats are polygynous and breed once a year, probably copulating between September and November when the males’ testes are enlarged. Females will generally mate with a number of males throughout a season and throughout their life-span. Spermatogenesis occurs in late October and seems to near termination by late November and early December. Preparation for ovulation seems to occur in late May to June, and follicular growth may begin prior to weaning in juvenile females. Ovulation generally occurs in early January and appears to be triggered by higher afternoon temperatures associated with the dry season. Females appear to store sperm until prey abundance increases between December and June, which is relatively uncommon in tropical bats. Sperm has been recorded in the females’ reproductive track clumped together with heads in the epithelium and tails outwards in November, December, and January. In Malaysia , pregnant females have been recorded in February, March, and April. Gestation lasts ¢.12-13 weeks and twins are born in April and May. Although twins are most common, there have been reports of single and triplet litters; twins are usually dizygotic, but a monozygotic set was recently reported in China . Young are hairless and blind at birth, with body mass ¢.0-6 g. They cling to their mothers’ body while she flies, but as they get older they are eventually left in the roost while she forages. Lactating females have been recorded in May in Malaysia with the emergence of volant, weaned juveniles by the end of May. Young become volant at ¢.22-25 days of age. Males and females become sexually mature by their first breeding season.	The Indomalayan Lesser Bamboo Bat is nocturnal and leaves the roost around dusk to forage. Day roosts are inside hollow bamboo internodes. Chosen roosts have entrances that are small vertical slits (mean vertical length of 33 mm and mean horizontal width of 4-9 mm in Malaysia ), which are only accessible because of the flattened skull and body shape. Cracks used by these bats to enter the bamboo are created by the emergence of beetle larvae (particularly Lasiochila gory: in Malaysia ). In Malaysia , they primarily used the bamboo Gigantochloa scortechinii ( Poaceae ) for roosting. Although they usually roost in bamboo shafts, they have also been observed roosting in small rock crevices and may use the abandoned holes of the Indomalayan Pencil-tailed Tree Mouse ( Chiropodomys gliroides ). Unlike many other vespertilionids, the species does not enter torpor, but it may become more lethargic at higher temperatures. Call shape is a steep FM/QCF sweep. In Thailand , average peak frequency was recorded at 50-5 kHz, maximum frequency 134-4 kHz, minimum frequency 39-4 kHz, duration 1-6 milliseconds, and pulse interval 26-8 milliseconds.	Females are more gregarious, with average group sizes of 4-9 individuals (maximum 20) in Malaysia , whereas males typically roost solitarily or with a group of females. An average roostsize of 12-6 individuals was recorded in Guangxi, with maximum of 38 in a single roost, and roosts with several males (2-6) were reported in the same region. Both sexes switch roosts almost daily, and group size within roosts changes often. When females are in estrus, one male in a group of females may prevent other males from roosting with them.	Not assessed on The IUCN Red List as a separate species from the Sunda Lesser Bamboo Bat, which is classified as Least Concern. The Indomalayan Lesser Bamboo Batis generally common throughout its distribution, but was considered locally extinct in Singapore until a single specimen was collected in 1997.

However, this species is represented in monospecific genus and should be considered for further research and potential conservation efforts.	This bat is poorly known. It is found in evergreen and dry deciduous lowland forest. Its roosts include hollow trees and buildings. This species seems to be most active for an hour after sunset and an hour before dawn (Reid 1997). In Peru, Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela, it is found also in secondary forests though it seems to prefer primary habitats (Velazco pers. comm.)	There are no major threats throughout its range.	It is apparently rare and local in Central America (Reid 1997) and South America (Tavares pers. comm.). In Ecuador it is rare (Tirira in prep.).	Unknown	This species occurs throughout Belize to north Colombia, Venezuela, the Guianas, Amazonian and northeastern Brazil, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. It is also found on Trinidad (Simmons 2005). In Bolivia it is found to 1,000 m asl (Aguirre pers. comm.). It is found in Mexico (Arroyo-Cabrales pers. comm.) and also occurs in central forest of western pacific in Panama (Samudio pers. comm.).	There is no use or trade information.	Terrestrial	It occurs in protected areas but is always rare and at low densities. This species is considered Vulnerable in Bolivia.
