HABITAT AND ECOLOGY
Adults disperse widely over the floor of montane and submontane forests. It breeds in small, clear, rocky-bottomed streams and larvae live in torrents, clinging to rocks and feeding on lithophytes. It appears to be unable to adapt to modified habitats.

THREATS
In 2015, earthquakes caused major landslides at Mesilau, within Kinabalu National Park, where the species was known to occur (Earth Observatory 2017, P. Yambun pers. comm. January 2018). If the species still occurs at Mesilau, the species could be threatened by the development of roads and facilities for tourism within the park (P. Yambun pers. comm. January 2018).
