The extent of occurrence is estimated to be less than 5,000 km² and the area of occupancy is estimated to be 8 km² (two 2x2 km² grid cells). Countries occurrence: Native: Thailand Additional data: ? Estimated area of occupancy (AOO) - km2: 8 ? Continuing decline in area of occupancy (AOO): Yes ? Estimated extent of occurrence (EOO) - km2: 4999 ? Number of Locations: 2 ?
