This small bat occurs in northern Australia. The Australian Museum describes it as common along Cape York creek and river systems and less common in the Top End, where it is found mainly near the coast.
The described specimens were small and delicate, with broadly rounded ears. Hair tips on the shoulders and back were brown; ventral tips were pale grayish brown, with dark hair bases.
It is commonly recorded along Cape York creek and river systems. In the Top End it is less common and found mostly near the coast. It probably roosts in trees.
