, we calculated a moderate aspect ratio (6.61) and low wing loading (4.83), coupled with relatively high tip-shape index (1.68). These wing characteristics suggest low flight speed and high manoeuvrability (Norberg and Rayner 1987) and imply that this species can be classified as an ‘edge-space aerial forager’ (Denzinger and Schnitzler 2013).

The area was predominantly occupied by bamboo forest and the modifications like fleshy callosities in the thumbs and soles of the bats also indicate a roosting preference inside bamboo internodes.
