Assessment rationale/justification
There is doubtful occurrence of this species in Bangladesh. Some literatures (Khan 1982, 2001, Sarker and Sarker 1988, 2005, Bates and Harrison 1997, Molur et al. 2002) mentioned the presence of this species in Bangladesh without any locality information and also without any scientific evidence. However, this species has been known to found in Bangladesh based on bat samples received from the Sundarbans (Blyth 1848). Therefore, it is categorized as Data Deficient.
