Habitat:
This little known species is currently known from montane tropical moist forest and montane grassland habitats (Happold and Happold 2013).
Range:
This little known species is believed to be endemic to the mountains of Cameroon. It has been recorded from the type locality of Tinta (Mamfe Division) (Sanderson 1940), from the Bamenda Highlands (Schlitter et al. 1999), and more recently from Mount Oku (R. Hutterer pers. comm). The Cameroon mountains are in an isolated area, and surveys of other mountain blocks have not found this species. Its elevational range is between 700-1,800 m asl. (Happold and Happold 2013).
Conservation:
This species has been recorded from the Mount Oku Faunal Reserve. It is not known if it is present within any additional protected areas. There is an urgent need to effectively conserve remaining areas of montane forest within the Cameroon highlands. Additional studies are needed into the natural history of this species.
