A small, forest-dependent Cynopterus fruit bat, generally less tolerant of disturbed habitat than its common relatives and more reliant on structurally intact forest.
Nocturnal, roosting in foliage and feeding on fruit and nectar. Field separation from other small Cynopterus species is difficult without close in-hand examination.
