Head-body 55-67 mm, tail 40-53 mm, ear 14-18-3 mm, hindfoot 8:2-11-6 mm, forearm 48-54 mm; weight 17-26 g. The Western False Pipistrelle is slightly larger than the Eastern False Pipistrelle (
) and has a rustier hue to the pelage. Dorsally, it is rusty brown; underparts are light cinnamon-brown. Baculum is short with a broad base, proximally widened, roof-like in cross section, and without distal expansion; unlike the Eastern False Pipistrelle, the dorsal basal transverse ridge is notched at the center; ridge projects behind ventral posterior edge of base. Skull large and robust; superorbital tubercles small to moderate; infraorbital foramen small to moderate, separated from orbit by moderate lacrimal bar; bulla length moderate. Dental formula for hoth species of
is 12/3, C 1/1, P 2/2, M 3/8 (x2) = 34. Dentary similar to that of Eastern False Pipistrelle, but longer relative to basicranial length. P* has buccal edge moderately notched. Condylo-canine length 17-9-18-3 mm; maxillary tooth row 7-3-7-8 mm.
); in high rainfall zones, it occursin jarrah (E. marginata) and tuart (E. gomphocephala) dry sclerophyll forests. Also recorded in mixed tuartjarrah tall woodlands on adjacent coastal plains. It has also been captured in
Western False Pipistrelles forage on insects above the understory, in the tree canopy, and along forest tracks. Their high agility enables them to outmaneuver and catch airborne insect prey among massive tree trunks.
In 1992, over three nights 24 Western False Pipistrelles were captured while foraging 4-8 m aboveground, where their flight was fast and direct, with occasional abrupt turns. During daytime, the species roosts in hollows in old trees, branches and stumps. Echolocation calls end at low frequencies (30 kHz), with most energy at 32-34 kHz, and last c.12 milliseconds.

, and has not been seen in the northern part of its range since 1993, despite searches. Population size is reckoned to be over 10,000 mature individuals, but no census has ever been undertaken. Its habitats are subject to continued logging, burning, clearing and modification for a variety of land uses including forestry, mining, viticulture, housing development. Other threats include competition for roosting resources with feral honeybees and coconut lorikeets (
