Habitat:
It occupies a wide range of habitats, including primary and secondary humid forest to 1,000 m and Melaleuca savanna (Y. Létocart verbally 1998, Ekstrom et al. 2000, V. Chartendrault and N. Barré in litt. 2007). It appears to prefer humid forest between 400-600 m and to favour the forest edge (V. Chartendrault and N. Barré in litt. 2007, C. Meresse in litt. 2009).
