A bat ranging from middle Central America to the western North Andes. A 2018 taxonomic study treated keenani, formerly a subspecies of G. crenulatum, as a separate species.
It has a yellowish stripe along the back, large yellowish patches around the ears, and a hairy noseleaf.
Its natural history remains poorly known. The 2018 paper summarizes captures around crops and captures alongside several other bat species.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
