This large-eared free-tailed bat occurs in Africa. A 2001 study in South Africa found it using buildings as daytime roosts.
Its coat is blackish brown, with a paler band across the shoulders and a white band where the back meets the wing membrane. It has very large ears and a long muzzle.
A January 2001 study in KwaZulu-Natal recorded buildings being used as daytime roosts.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
