Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: This species occurs widely in South East Asia, from Burma and Vietnam, through Thailand and peninsular Malaysia to Borneo, Sumatra and the Lesser Sunda Islands, as far east as Sumbawa (Indonesia) (Tsukada et al. 1985, Otsuka 1988, Corbet and Pendlebury 1992, Pinratana 1996). This gives the species a large extent of occurrence (EOO) and its area of occupancy is also well in excess of the threshold 2,000 km2 for threatened species as its primary and secondary forest habitat is sufficiently common across its distribution.
