Geographic Range [top]
Range Description: The species is known from Peninsular Malaysia (e.g. Orr 2005) and Yala in the extreme south of Thailand (e.g. Hämäläinen and Pinratana 1999). Most records from Peninsular Malaysia are from the Cameron Highlands in Pahang, and surrounding parts of Perak; however there is a record from Templar Park near Kuala Lumpur (Lieftinck 1984), two other records from Selangor, and another from Penang Island (Kitagawa 1997), as well as a vague record from Kelantan, which could be from close to the Cameron Highlands, or could be from much further away. It is likely to be more widely distributed in Peninsular Malaysia than these records suggest; there are extensive areas of suitable hilly and mountainous habitat, but collecting appears to have been concentrated in the easily accessible Cameron Highlands area.

Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: Small streams and springs in forest in steep terrain. It is tolerant of a degree of disturbance.
Systems: Terrestrial; Freshwater
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s): Some populations of this species may be threatened by deforestation, and forest clearance for agriculture is certainly a threat in the Cameron Highlands, but overall this species does not appear to be globally threatened.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions: There is a need for further data on distribution, population sizes and threats. In particular it should be determined if it is present in protected areas in Peninsular Malaysia, for instance from Taman Negara National Park, from where there are very few records of Odonata.
