The Cuban greater funnel-eared bat has funnel-like ears and a tail as long as the head and body combined. The legs are shorter than the forearm, dorsal hair length is 8–9 millimetres (0.31–0.35 in), ventral hair length is 7–8 millimetres (0.28–0.31 in) long. Each hair is divided into three

different color bands going from dark on the base, light in the middle, and the tip a little darker than the middle. They have black, stiff hairs above the upper lip, much like a moustache, and white hairs below the lower lip. They have tan and reddish-brown fur with a paler belly.

When Harold E. Anthony described this species in 1919, he thought it was an extinct form because it was only known from fossil localities on Cuba, on Isla de la
Juventud, Grand Cayman and various islands in the Bahamas. In 1992, a living population has been rediscovered.
250:
They have a diet consisting largely of moths, crickets, and beetles. In 1992, the first living population was discovered in a cave in Cueva La Barca. Caribbean hurricanes early in the evolutionary history of
Natalids may account for specialized cave roosting.

island and province. The population is abundant in that single cave, but this species is likely to go extinct due to its limited dispersal range, human disturbance and loss of habitat. It is estimated that there are only a few thousand individuals.
272:
This species is known to have become extirpated throughout most of Cuba suggesting a population decline that may have continued until the present. The survival of Cuban bats is threatened by forest destruction and cave modification.
