This small bat is recorded in southern China and northern Vietnam. Golden tones appear in its dorsal fur, and records come from evergreen forests in mountainous areas.
Its long, silky back fur has dark bases with golden bands or tips, while the underside is whitish. Hairless, tube-like nostrils project from the muzzle, and the ears are short and broad.
Records are from secondary evergreen forest in mountainous areas at 978–1,950 m. Secondary forest is woodland that has regrown after disturbance such as clearing.
