Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: This widespread Asian species ranges from India and perhaps Pakistan in the west of its range, through much of eastern China and mainland Southeast Asia. It is present on the islands of Hainan and Taiwan. In the Philippines, the species was believed to be restricted to Batan Island (Heaney and Ruedi 1994), however, a 2004 survey recorded the species from Calayan Island and the Babuyan Islands (Oliveros et al. 2004). It is unclear if the species is present on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia. It is found from sea level up to 3,000 m asl.
