This species is associated with mature Miombo woodland. Roosting takes place in hollow trees and buildings.	This species is locally threatened in parts of its range, often through general deforestation and the conversion of suitable habitat by shifting agricultural practices.	This is a locally common species that can be found in large colonies of up to hundreds of individuals within buildings, but is more often present in smaller numbers.	Unknown	This species is present in Central Africa and parts of Southern Africa. It has been recorded from eastern Angola, southern Democratic Republic of the Congo, northern Zambia, Rwanda, northern Mozambique and possibly from Malawi. Previous records from Madagascar and Botswana are now considered to be erroneous (Simmons 2005).		Terrestrial	There appear to be no direct conservation measures in place for this species. It is not known if the species is present within any protected areas. Further studies are needed into the distribution and systematics of this species.	Afrotropical		FALSE	FALSE	Global	Simmons, N.

Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Angola, Zambia, Mozambique. Records from Botswana and Madagascar are erroneous; Botswana records are now thought to represent condylurus while Madagascar records represent leucostigma (see Hayman and Hill [1971], Meester et al. [1986], and Peterson et al. [1995]).	<a href='https://cites.org/eng/app/appendices.php' target='_blank'>Not Listed</a>	<a href='https://www.iucnredlist.org/species/13845/22078081/' target='_blank'>Least Concern</a>	Subgenus Mops. Clearly distinct from condylurus, see Ansell (1967), Hayman and Hill (1971), and Meester et al.(1986). Koopman (1993) suggested that niveiventer is possibly a subspecies of demonstrator.
