Assessment rationale/justification
IUCN notes that this species is absent from central forested regions of Africa, however there is a confusion with H. ruber and likely to be present throughout. Cave and cavity roosting bats, occuring in smaller colonies, but because of the specialized roosting requirements could see large population destroyed by roost site destruction or alteration
