This species is generally associated with tropical lowland forest habitats. It can be found roosting in small numbers in tree cracks or within man made structures such as thatched houses and sheds (Sanderson 1940; T.S. Jones in Rosevear 1965; Happold 1987; Grubb et al . 1998).	In general there are no threats to this widespread and somewhat adaptable species. In parts of its range it is locally threatened by habitat loss, primarily deforestation resulting from logging operations and the conversion of land to agricultural use.	This is a common species.	Unknown	This sub-Saharan bat is widely, but patchily, recorded in West, Central and East Africa. It ranges from Sierra Leone and Guinea in the west, through West Africa to Cameroon, and from here east to southern Sudan, Uganda, and western Kenya with an additional record from western Ethiopia. It ranges as far south as the southern portion of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is a lowland species.		Terrestrial	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 species.	Afrotropical		FALSE	FALSE	Global	Simmons, N. B., & Cirranello, A. L. (2023).
