Habitat:
This species inhabits arboreal microhabitats in lowland and mossy montane rainforests. It breeds by direct development in shrub layer vegetation, laying its eggs on the upper surfaces of leaves.

Range:
This species is known from the northwest Panay Peninsula and the Central Panay Mountain Range on Panay Island, in the Philippines, separated by an open area without tree cover. It occurs at elevations from 250–1,750 m asl, its extent of occurrence (EOO) is 3,322 km2, and it is considered to occur at two threat-defined locations.

Conservation:
Conservation Actions
This species range includes a few protected areas, such as the Aklan River Watershed Forest Reserve. In addition, the Northwest Panay Peninsula and the Central Panay Mountain Range have been proposed as new protected areas (Philippines Red List Assessment Workshop May 2017).

Conservation Needed
There is clearly a need for improved protection of remaining forest habitats on the island of Panay, and for rehabilitation of tracts of degraded forest.

Research Needed
An improved understanding of the species' population size, distribution and trends is needed.
