Description

Habitat

Biome: Terrestrial [1].

Ecology: It is probably a understorey, forest dependent species . It has been recorded from caves, and found roosting in a small group under a house in forest on Borneo (Payne et al. 1985). They often forage over small streams in forest, and so perhaps it is water dependent . They have also been found roosting under rock near streams and also in fallen logs (S. Bumrungsri pers. comm. ). It was collected from pristine lowland evergreen forest in Thailand near a peat swamp , and was also found in peat swamp in Peninsular Malaysia (Bumrungsri, et al., 2006). There are no caves in the vicinity of the locality in Thailand suggesting that it may roost elsewhere (Bumrungsri, et al., 2006).[1].
