Description |
Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: The species has only been recorded from Pahang and Selangor, Peninsular Malaysia, where it was originally known from two individuals in each state; the records are from Ulu Gombak (220 m asl.) and Kuala Tahan at 500 m asl. (Smith, 1940, Lim and Kamarudin, 1975). Yaakob (2003) found two specimens from Kepong, raising the number of known specimens to six, but did not extend its range. It is very likely that this species is more widely distributed, but given its semi-fossorial habit is seldom seen.
