Surveys around Mount Cameroon captured this fruit bat near fruiting trees, cultivated land and cave entrances. The current MDD species page uses the name Myonycteris angolensis.
The original description gives it a narrow, blunt muzzle, a head that broadens toward the back, and oval ears with rounded tips. The back is brown; the center of the chest and belly is paler and grayish.
