Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: This species is widespread in northeastern South Asia and mainland Southeast Asia. In South Asia, this species is presently known from India (West Bengal) and has been recorded from an elevation of 1,000 m asl (Molur et al. 2002). Lekagul and McNeely (1977) erroneously reported Assam instead of West Bengal as the range of this species range (Srinivauslu et al. in press). In Mainland Southeast Asia, it has been recorded from northern Myanmar, northern Thailand, Lao PDR and Viet Nam. The species is probably more widespread in Southeast Asia than is currently known (C. Francis pers. comm.).

Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: In South Asia, little is known about the habitat or ecology of this species except that this species is found in dry bamboo forests and mixed forests (Bates and Harrison 1997). In Viet Nam the species was collected in a disturbed area close to the Cuc Phuong National Park headquarters (Bates et. al. 1997). Remains of a single specimen have been collected from a cave in northeastern Thailand (Robinson and Smith 1997).
Systems: Terrestrial
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): In Southeast Asia, there are no major threats to this species as a whole. In South Asia, the threats to this species remain unknown. However, disturbance to roosting sites by humans could affect the populations (Molur et al. 2002).
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: In South Asia there are no direct conservation measures in place for this species, and it has not been recorded from any protected areas. Survey, ecological studies and impacts of roost disturbance need to be conducted (Molur et al. 2002). In Southeast Asia, it has been recorded from a number of protected areas.
