starts withOverall, it is similar in appearance to the southern dog-faced bat. The fur of its chest and belly are darker in color. It is a small species of bat, with a forearm length of 35 mm (1.4 in); a head and body length of 58 mm (2.3 in); and a tail length of 28 mm (1.1 in).As a free-tailed bat, its tail extends beyond the edge of the uropatagium.
It is evaluated as data deficient by the IUCN. A more informative classification because there is little-to-no information about its current range, population size and trend, nor its ecological requirements. Part of the challenge in identifying the status of the species is that it is often confused with other species in its genus. Therefore, its exact range is unclear. Also, like other free-tailed bats, it flies high as it forages, and therefore is not frequently encountered by researchers and collectors.
