A Bornean-endemic montane bat named for a coppery sheen to its fur, described relatively recently and known mainly from high-elevation forest.
Presumed nocturnal and insectivorous like other small vesper bats, foraging over montane forest; detailed field data remains limited given how recently it was distinguished from related species.
