Habitat:
This species inhabits arboreal microhabitats in closed-canopy rainforest, mostly at elevations from 50-900 m asl (Grandison 1972). Breeding and egg deposition in the Philippines occurs in water-filled leaf axils, tadpoles are non-feeding, and the larvae undergo metamorphosis in the same microhabitats.
Range:
This species is known from the Philippines, where it is found on Mindanao between 0-1,000 m asl. It is expected to occur more widely on Mindanao (A. Diesmos pers. comm. March 2018).
It was previously reported to be found in Siberut, Mentawai, and Natuna Besar in Indonesia, however these records have now been assigned to Pelophyrne signata (M. Munir pers. comm. April 2019) and removed from this species concept. It was also reported from Peninsular Malaysia, and south to Singapore (Lim and Lim 1992, Ming 2000). However these records do not belong to this species and have been found to be genetically similar to P. signata specimens on Borneo, although further taxonomic work is required to confirm whether they belong to P. signata or an undescribed species (Chan et al. 2010, Chan et al. unpubl. data). For the purposes of this assessment, the Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore records have been excluded from this assessment and the distribution map. They have now been provisionally included in the map for P. signata and coded as 'Presence Uncertain'. Previous records from Sumatra are also thought to belong to P. signata, but are retained in this map and coded as 'Presence Uncertain', until further work has been carried out to verify this.
