Habitat:
There is little information available for this species. Presumably, it is found in montane forest, but it is not known whether or not it can adapt to anthropogenic habitats.

Range:
This species is endemic to the mountains of northern and western Sumatra (Indonesia), where it has been recorded at 1,000-2,000 m asl. A possible record from Java (Corbet and Hill 1992) has not been confirmed to represent this species.

Conservation:
There are several large protected areas within the species' range and these are likely to provide some long-term protection. Further studies are needed into the distribution, abundance, reproduction and ecology of this species.
