It has a wingspan of about 80 millimeters and weighs 6 to 9 grams, with a shortened muzzle bearing a prominent nose leaf, and is distinguished among phyllostomid bats by hind legs that extend unusually far and end in abnormally large, strongly clawed feet. It favors rainforest and tropical deciduous forest near water, including lakes, streams and coastal caves, and is assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN.
