HABITATS AND DISTRIBUTION. — We did not examine any specimen attributed to this species. This species was also not recorded during our field surveys, but has been signalled in the Mount Cameroon Highlands by Eisentraut (1956, 1963). In Liberian Mount Nimba, it was recorded from 500 m to 1000 m a.s.l. in a variety of forested and disturbed habitats ( Monadjem et al. 2016). According to Monadjem et al. (2010), it is recorded in a number of savannah habitats where it roosts in caves.
