The wings are dark and the feet are small. Males have a long penis and baculum, which is somewhat similar to those of P. endoi, P. paterculus, and P. abramus. Because of uncertainties about its ecology, it is listed as ‘Data Deficient’ on the IUCN Red List. P. raceyi has been recorded at four sites, two in the eastern and two in. the western lowlands. In the east it is found in open areas and has been found roosting in a building; in the west it occurs in dry forest.

The dark, short, round ears bear three to five ridges. The crescent-shaped tragus is about half as long as the ear and contains a slight constriction on the back side of its base. The third through fifth metacarpals are about equally long, but the first phalange the third finger is short on third metacarpal.
