This small bat was recorded in bamboo groves in Assam, India. It has golden-brown dorsal fur, a flattened head, and pale pads on its thumbs.
The back is golden brown and the underside paler. The muzzle, ears, and wing membranes are dark brown; the head is flattened and the thumb pads are whitish.
In Assam, two adults were captured inside a bamboo grove surrounded by fields. Another record from that grove found a female and 14 young in the hollow of a cut bamboo stem. Older-name records discussed separately in the paper are excluded.
