A small roundleaf bat named for its two-toned fur, typically darker above and paler below, common across parts of its Sundaland range.
Roosts in caves and other sheltered sites, sometimes in large mixed colonies, hunting small flying insects at night using echolocation focused by its horseshoe-and-leaflet noseleaf.
