Up to 55 individuals have been collected from a single tree. On New Britain, bats were found in mixed groups or segregated male and female groups.

Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List in view of its wide distribution and expected large population. Rohu’s Bat occurs in a number of protected areas, and tolerates a degree of habitat modification. There appear to be no major threats. Surveys and research are needed overits entire range.
