Its species name "isabella" refers to the color isabelline, which is a creamy brown. It refers to the coloration of the bat's dorsal fur, in addition to being the given name of Decher's daughter Isabelle.[2]

The isabelline white-winged serotine has a total length of Шаблон:Cvt and weighs around Шаблон:Cvt. It has a forearm length of about Шаблон:Cvt.[2] The flight membranes, tail membrane and the fur of the belly are white, along with the ears, lips and feet which are slightly off white. The hairs on the back are light orange-brown. This coloration differentiates it from other species of West African bats.[1]
Distribution and habitat
