Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology:
Not much has been recorded on the habitat of this species, but it appears to be typical of the genus: small high gradient streams and trickles in forest, or at least well shaded.
Systems: Terrestrial; Freshwater
Threats [top]
Major Threat(s):
Deforestation and large-scale hydroelectric projects are likely to be threats to some populations.
Conservation Actions [top]
Conservation Actions:
Fresh searches need to be made for this species in Myanmar and north-east India, and further information on its distribution to the north and east of Thailand is needed. Beyond this no specific conservation measures appear to be needed at this time, although the protection of additional suitable habitat across the range of the species is highly desirable. However, there is no evidence that this species is tolerant of disturbance to its habitats, so that there is some cause for concern in the future.
