Habitat:
This species inhabits the forest floor stratum in undisturbed and disturbed lower montane and lowland forests. It occurs in secondary forest habitats and is occasionally found in anthropogenic habitats beside the forest. It has limited tolerance to disturbance as it does not occur in highly urbanised areas of Manila (Philippines Red List Assessment Workshop May 2017). It deposits its eggs in leaf-litter nests and breeds by direct development.

Range:
This species is widespread on Luzon Island, in the Philippines, at around 400 m asl, and has also been recorded from Marinduque Island (Philippines Red List Assessment Workshop May 2017).

Conservation:
Conservation Actions
This species is known to occur in several well-protected areas on Luzon Island, including Mount Makiling National Park.

Research Needed
