Description JUSTIFICATION Listed as Least Concern because there are no major threats to this species, it occurs at more than 5 locations within its range, and it is expected to be found more widely in the Bornean mountains, which needs to be substantiated. Because it is a hill species the major forest conversion in Borneo occurs below this species range. RANGE DESCRIPTION This type locality of this species is Mt. Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia.
