The moss-forest blossom bat is a highland bat recorded on New Guinea. Specimens from Indonesian New Guinea had dense, dark grayish-brown to dark-brown fur on the back.
The Irian Jaya specimens had dense, velvet-like fur on the back and less dense fur underneath. Habema highland specimens ranged from grayish brown to dark brown, darkest on the head and nape; Tembagapura–Timika specimens were generally lighter.
The paper reported 19 specimens from the Tembagapura–Timika area at about 2,500 m and Habema at about 3,000 m. These are collection records; the paper does not describe diet or activity.
