HABITATS AND DISTRIBUTION. — This species inhabits West and Central African forest ( Fedden & MacLeod 1986 ). According to Eger (2013) , this species can be encountered in lowland forest, montane forest and farmlands where it roosts in caves. The species had previously been recorded from Mount Cameroon ( Eisentraut 1963 , 1973 ; Hill 1968 ; Fedden & MacLeod 1986 ), but we did not capture any specimen during our field surveys. Eisentraut (1963) recorded this species in primary montane forest at elevations from 1200 m up to 2260 m a.s.l., where it roosted in large caves.
