Biology
Relatively little is known of the biology of visored bats, because they seem to be rare, and only a few specimens have been collected. They are nocturnal, and either solitary or found in pairs; some have been found roosting in underground cavities, and others in fig trees. They feed solely on fruit, and breed twice each year, at the beginning and end of the rainy season.
