This tube-nosed bat is recorded in peninsular Thailand. The 2013 paper described the Nicobar Islands population as a separate subspecies.
In the Thai nominate subspecies, dorsal hairs are grey at the base and orange-brown at the tips. The underside is dark grey, with orange-brown around the chest and neck.
Specimens of the Thai nominate form were collected along trails and small streams in evergreen forest.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
