Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): Deforestation of lowland forest for urbanisation and tourist development is known to have completely wiped out the forest from where this species was recorded; only one nearby, small fragment remains where this species might persist (I. Das pers. obs. 2011). Survey work conducted by R. Inger in this area failed to locate the species (R. Inger pers. comm. 2011).
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: Survey work is needed to confirm if the species is still present in the area where it was found or in nearby forest.
