This species is found in northeastern South Asia, central and southern China and northern Southeast Asia. In South Asia, the species is now known only from Mizoram in India (Molur et al. 2005). In China, it has been recorded from Gansu, Shaanxi and Hubei to Yunnan. In Southeast Asia, it has been recorded from northern Myanmar, northern Thailand, northern Lao PDR and northern Viet Nam.

Conservation:
In India, it has been recorded from Murlen National Park, and is presumably present in several more protected areas throughout its range. General field surveys, research into the natural history and monitoring of populations are recommended for this species (Molur et al. 2005).
