. The Philippine Dawn Bat has elongated and narrow snout and head, long pointed tongue, and no claw on second digit of wing. Males are typically larger than females and have ruff of elongated hairs around neck that is often yellowish. Muzzle is longer and more downturned than in the Lesser Dawn Bat (FE.
), and it lacks paired anal glands, has somewhat longer tail, and averages a little larger in size. Dorsal pelage ranges from dark gray to silvery gray relatively evenly from head to rump, often tinged with yellow or orange around neck region. Ventral pelage is generally lighter than dorsum. Ears are bluntly pointed, medium in length, and brownish; eyes are large, with dark reddish-brown irises. Wings,legs, and uropatagium are dark brown. Arms are lightly covered in brown hairs. Tail is moderately long, sparsely covered with hairs, and dark brownish; uropatagium attaches at base oftail and short keel at ankles, giving V-shaped gap where tailis. Second digit of wing lacks a claw, and metacarpals offifth digit are much shorter than metacarpals of third digit; skin over wing bones is pigmented. Skull is elongated, with long rostrum; anterior premaxillae are in contact or slightly divided; and braincaseis heavily deflected downward. Teeth are sharp and not as reduced as in some nectarfeeding bats, but molars and premolars have considerably reduced cusps and are narrow and elongated. Upper incisors are small and triangular, C' is relatively large, and C, 1s small, simple, and heavily curved outward. Chromosomal complement has 2n = 36 and FN = 66(?).

Classified as Near Threatened on The IUCN Red List. The Philippine Dawn Bat is not particularly common throughout its distribution, although it is common in some lowland regions surrounding roost caves. It seems to be sensitive to habitat disturbance and destruction and is absent from agricultural and urban regions. General deforestation and cave disturbance are most likely main threats, and it might be threatened by increased habitat loss through deforestation across the
