Habitat
Ecology:
In eastern Myanmar it is associated with limestone caves, and found

(P. Bates pers. comm.
).
In Cambodia it is found in caves (not necessarily limestone) in secondary
forest and degraded habitat
(G. Csorba pers. comm.
). This species
is tolerant
to some degree
of habitat disturbance.[1].
