Citation Description Geographic Range [top] Range Description: The species is endemic to Borneo. The type locality is Sintang in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. It has also been recorded from Sarawak, Malaysia, and recently from the Kuala Belalong Field Studies Centre, in the Temburong District of Brunei (this latter J.M. Dehling, unpubl. data). It is uncertain whether historical records referring to the occurence of this species in Kuching, Sarawak, indicate the ability of this species to inhabit urban areas. It has been recorded at altitudes from near sea level to 1,100 m asl. Countries occurrence: Native: Brunei Darussalam; Indonesia (Kalimantan); Malaysia (Sabah, Sarawak) Additional data: ?

Current Population Trend: Unknown Additional data: ? Population severely fragmented: No Habitat and Ecology [top] Habitat and Ecology: The species has been recorded living in leaf litter in lowland forest floor. Systems: Terrestrial Use and Trade [top] Use and Trade: This species is not used or traded. Threats [top] Major Threat(s): The species lives in humid forested areas always with closed canopy cover. Therefore, habitat loss due to deforestation is a major potential threat to the species. It is not known if the species can survive in man made habitats with the adequate canopy cover and humidity. Conservation Actions [top] Conservation Actions: It is known from the Kuala Belalong Field Studies Centre, within Ulu Temburong National Park in Brunei, but has not been recorded from protected areas in either Malaysia or Indonesia. Additional surveys are needed to establish its real distribution and clarify the extent of threats from deforestation.
