This undescribed species is only known from a single specimen collected on 27 December 2011 at 1,400 m a.s.l. in forested habitat in Liberian Nimba . It was referred to as Neoromicia sp. 1 by Monadjem et al . (2013 a ) due to the absence of an enlarged anterior premolar in the upper jaw. Decher et al . (2015) reported on four new specimens collected in the Simandou Range, confirming its specific distinction, and suggested that it belongs in the genus Hypsugo . The species is currently being described (R. Hutterer, personal comunication).
