Habitat:
All known sites are limestone cave areas; the species can survive in degraded forest and a population is known from a forest fragment within a sugar cane plantation in Thailand (S. Bumrungsri pers. comm.). The two known specimens from the Philippines were collected close to sea level in ultrabasic forest, and in an agricultural area near a river (Balete et al. 1995).

Range:
This species is found in Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, and the Philippines. In the Philippines, it is recorded on Luzon (Isabela, Quezon, and Quirino provinces) and Mindoro (Balete et al. 1995, Heaney et al. 1998). There are unverified and poorly documented records of this species from other islands in the Philippines. In Thailand it is usually found below 400 m asl.

Conservation:
Recommended actions include prevention of cave disturbance (S. Bumrungsri pers. comm. 2006).
