This nectar bat is known from scattered localities in Peru and Ecuador. Its back is pale brown and its underside grayish brown.
The collected specimen had pale-brown dorsal fur, a paler grayish-brown underside, and a narrow, elongated rostrum.
One adult male was found roosting by day about 4 m above ground inside an inhabited rustic dwelling in a dry mountain valley in southwestern Ecuador. This is a single-site, single-animal observation.
