This tube-nosed bat was described from specimens collected in Maolan National Nature Reserve, Libo County, Guizhou, China.
The fluffy dorsal fur is brownish gray with golden-yellow tips. The shorter underside looks smoky gray, and the nostrils are short tubes opening to the sides.
Five specimens were collected in July 2016 in an abandoned cave among evergreen broad-leaved forest and thickets in Libo County.
