Range:
There is a lot of doubt surrounding the distribution of this species. It is only known from the type specimen, which may be incorrectly labeled (Koopman 1984). It was purportedly collected in Samoa, but this has not been confirmed. Another alternative is that the specimen was a vagrant to Samoa.

Conservation:
There are no known conservation measures pertaining to this species. However, if there is a way to test the taxonomic validity or geographic origins of the specimen this could be very useful (Helgen et al. 2009).
