Description |
Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: This species is endemic to the Philippines, where it is known from the island of Luzon (restricted to the Northern Cordilleras). It has been recorded from the island of Sibuyan (M. Gaulke pers. comm. 2008). Records from Subic and Catanduanes should be viewed with caution, and a recent listing of this species from Panay (Iloilo district) and records from Negros are almost certainly an error (R. Brown pers. comm. 2007). It has been recorded from around 400 to 800 m asl.

Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: There is very little known about the natural history of this species, although it is presumed to be arboreal. Animals have been recorded in agricultural areas, although additional details on their persistance in modified habitats are needed. All specimens observed on Sibuyan were seen on the upper part of coconut trees during daytime (M. Gaulke pers. comm. 2008).
Systems: Terrestrial
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): Threats to this species are currently not known. It might tolerate a degree of habitat degradation, as animals have been reported from agricultural areas and some congeners appear to prefer disturbed sites.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: It is not known if the species is present in any protected areas. Further studies are needed into the taxonomy, distribution, abundance and natural history of this species.
