Habits and Lifestyle

The ecology of this species is poorly understood due to its recent description. Specimens were recorded at relatively high altitudes (between 800 and 1600m), in habitats of the Andean forest with mature trees covered by epiphytes. This species is sympatric with two other species from the genus Anoura : A. caudifer and A. cultrata.

Lifestyle

Population

Conservation

As of 2017, it is evaluated as a data deficient species. It meets the criteria for this classification as little is known about its ecological requirements.
