Habitat:
There is little information available on this species. Presumably, it is found in primary mossy and montane forest. It is not known whether or not it can adapt to secondary habitats outside forest.

Range:
The species is endemic to Timor, both Indonesia and Timor-Leste at 200 to almost 3,000 m asl. It is so far known from only two locations, but it is expected to occur more widely on the island, especially at higher elevations. Nevertheless, its extent of occurrence is likely to be less than 20,000 km².

Conservation:
It is not known whether or not this species is present in any protected areas. Further studies are needed on the taxonomy, distribution, abundance, natural history and threats to this species. In particular, the taxonomic validity of the species needs to be assessed.
