The species name antioquensis is in reference to the Colombian state of Antioquia.

The only two individuals of this species ever encountered were both found in Eastern Antioquia.

That specimen was located near San Luis, Colombia, near a karst formation.

It differs from other species in its genera by its lack of white dorsal lines.

[3] While its diet has not been studied, all other bats of its genus are specialized aerial insectivores.
