This bat has records from lowland rainforests in northern South America. The type specimen was caught above a small swamp in Venezuela.
The noseleaf is long and broad, with a finely fringed edge. The back is dark brown and the underside is slightly paler.
The type specimen was caught in a mist net above a clear-water swamp near the Rio Mavaca, in virgin evergreen forest on an alluvial plain. This is a type-locality record, not a general foraging claim.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
