Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: Brachygonia oculata is known from the Greater and Lesser Sunda Islands (e.g. Lieftinck 1954), where it is present on Borneo and Sumatra and many smaller islands (e.g. Belitung), Peninsular Malaysia (e.g. Orr 2005), southern Thailand (Pinratana 2003) and Cambodia (Asahina 1967). On Borneo and in Peninsular Malaysia at least it is very widely distributed in the lowlands.

Population [top]
Population: In at least parts of its range this is a common species, for instance Orr (2001) records it from 12 locations in Brunei; Dow has recorded it from 10 locations in Sarawak (2007), at many of which it is abundant.
Current Population Trend: Unknown
Additional data:
? Population severely fragmented: No
Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: "Inhabitants of a wide range of alluvial forest, peat swamp forest and other forested marshy areas" (Orr 2003); R. Dow (pers. comm. 2007) adds that it occurs not only in flooded forest and forest pools, but also along slow flowing swamp forest streams.
Systems: Freshwater
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): This is a forest species, but one that can thrive in secondary forest. However it is threatened by clear-felling and plantation establishment.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: There is a need for further data on the distribution of this species outside of Borneo and Peninsular Malaysia, but beyond this there does not appear to be much need for specific conservation measures for this species, which occurs in secondary forest and is well represented in protected areas in Sarawak and Brunei at least.
