Guinea (unpublished data). Its biology is poorly known. On Santo, this species was found at 300m a.s.l. in dead tree trunks on the ground, as well as in a dead branch on a living tree at a height of 15m. Colony boundaries seem rather diffuse. Several reproductive pairs can be found in the same log, and may possibly reside in the same network of interconnecting tunnels.
