A woolly bat named for pale, translucent patches on its wing membranes, notable for sometimes roosting inside the fluid-filled pitchers of certain Nepenthes pitcher plants rather than only curled leaves.
Forages within dense understorey vegetation for flying insects at night, sharing the genus's characteristically slow, highly manoeuvrable flight.
