Assessment rationale/justification
New sightings for Uganda 1990s in caves in Tororo More recent sighting in Aleklek (2006). No other records for Uganda. Cave and cavity roosting bats, where they may concentrate in large numbers, but because of the specialized roosting requirements could see large population destroyed by roost site destruction or alteration. Lime quarrying and considerable other mining activities in Tororo likely to affect habitat.
