Geographic Range [top]
Range Description:
There are records of Gynacantha incisura from Myanmar (Fraser 1935, 1936), Nepal (Asahina 1955, 1984, Mahato 1989, Vick 1989, Sasamoto and Ushijima 2000) and Thailand (Hämäläinen and Pinratana 1999). The only records from Myanmar are old, from the South Shan States. Records from Nepal are mostly from the Kathmandu valley area. The only records from Thailand are from Loei province. It is likely to occur in Lao PDR.

Population [top]
Population:
Although there are not many records of this species, the most recent records from Nepal (Sasamoto and Ushijima 2000) are of eight individuals taken in a few days in the Kathmandu valley area. This suggests that the species may be quite common where it occurs, and it is at present assessed as Least Concern. Further information on threats to the species and its habitats is required.
Current Population Trend: Unknown

Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: Gynacantha incisura appears to be a submontane to montane species, and judging by the recent records from Kathmandu valley, it may be tolerant of at least some degree of disturbance. Beyond this nothing is known about its habitat requirements, although it is likely to be a forest species and to breed in standing water, like other Gynacantha species.
Systems: Terrestrial; Freshwater
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s):
Without better information on the habitat requirements of the species it is difficult to assess the threats, if any, faced by this species.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions:
Better information on the distribution, populations and habitat of this species is needed, but beyond this no conservation measures appear to be needed at this time.
