This small bat is recorded in western Ecuador. The reported fur is 8–10 mm long and body length is under 55 mm. A western Ecuador survey recorded it in coastal forests, disturbed areas, and plantations, and observed individuals roosting in a tree and a fallen log.
The examined specimens had a smooth chin pad and four lower incisors. Their fur was 8–10 mm long, and reported body length was under 55 mm; the authors list these traits in separating it from other phyllostomine bats.
In a western Ecuador survey, it was common along the coast in primary and secondary forest, disturbed areas, and plantations. At Cerro Blanco, individuals were observed roosting in a Ceiba tree and a log on the forest floor, as well as being collected from a culvert.
