[1] The bat is uniformly grayish-brown, lacking the 'yellow-shoulder' trait of its family.

[1] The species is found in the Martinique, Dominica, Guadeloupe and Montserrat islands in the Lesser Antilles.

It is thought that the bat needs humid native forests to survive.

[1][6][5] The species is listed as near-threatened, and almost meets the criteria for vulnerable (having extent of occurrence (EOO) of less than 15,504 km2).The species shows no sign of continued decline in population.

It may also face a threat from change in land cover, and agricultural use.
