Kerivoula smithii is a small bat recorded in a Nigerian forest survey. The report describes a fur-tip feature and a forest capture site.
Field identification from similar species notes bright golden to copper-colored frosting on the fur tips.
At one site in Cross River National Park, Nigeria, individuals were caught in harp traps within forest. This survey record shows forest use but does not define the species' full habitat range.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
