Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: Known only from Borneo, records from Brunei, Kalimantan and Sarawak. Recorded from one location in Brunei (Orr 2001), two locations in Kalimantan (Ris 1911, Lieftinck 1940) and Sarawak (Laidlaw 1913, 1920). Recent collecting in Sarawak has uncovered the species at 11 locations, many in protected areas, but also in unprotected swamp forest habitats. These locations are spread across the state (Dow 2005, 2006, 2007; Dow and Reels 2005).

Population [top]
Population: The species is common at a number of the locations known in Sarawak. The results from Sarawak suggest that the species is likely to be more common in northwest Kalimantan and in Brunei than published records suggest, and it is very likely to occur in Sabah as well.
Current Population Trend: Unknown
Additional data:
? Population severely fragmented: No
Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: Most common in lowland peat swamp forest, but also occurring in freshwater swamp forest and occasionally on streams (these records may be of dispersing individuals). The species occurs from sea level to at least 100 m (at Bako National Park in west Sarawak); the species may well be found at higher altitudes where suitable swamp forest habitats occur.
Systems: Freshwater
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): Habitat loss. Swamp forest habitats are generally threatened in Borneo, especially in Kalimantan.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: In Sarawak this species is present in a number of national parks (e.g. Bako, Gunung Mulu, Loagan Bunut) and other protected areas, and appears to be adequately protected at present. Insufficient data is available from Kalimantan; more information is needed. Searches need to be made in Kalimantan and in Sabah, further data from Brunei and under-sampled areas of Sarawak is also needed.
