Assessment rationale/justification
Reported record for Semliki, Maragambo, Kalinzu and Kibale by Kingdon early 70s (based on hunters reports) and suspected sighting in 90s. 69 Camera trap records from Maramagambo in 2014 (D.R. Mills), none from Kibale, Budongo, KasyohaKitomi, Bwindi, Rwenzori. AOO of Maramagambo (443km2) puts this species as endangered. Likely decline due to snaring and habitat degradation in Maramagambo Forest Reserve which is not as well protected.

Very little known about this bat, and appears to be everywhere rare. Could easily be confused with P. nanus which it resembles. We have a recent specimen from Buhamba so presume single location in remnant forests of Albertine Rift
