Habitat:
This is a poorly known species. The holotype was collected near a stream at 800 m elevation. It is likely to be associated with forested habitats, but this is not certain.

Range:
E. parvidens is known from three widely separated sites: the Di Linh Plateau (type locality) in Lam Dong Province, southern Viet Nam; Rakho in Bac Kan Province, northern Viet Nam; and southern Yunnan, China, near the border with Viet Nam (Smith et al. 2008). Various specimens have been found across Vietnam suggesting that this species almost certainly occurs more widely.

Conservation:
Further studies are needed on its distribution, abundance, natural history and threats to this species. This species has recently been found from Kon Ka Kinh National Park in the Kon Tum Province and from Chu Mom Ray National Park in the Gia Lai Province. In addition, specimens have been found in Chu Yang Sin National Park in the Dak Lak Province (Abramov et al. 2013). It has been recorded in Cat Tien National Park in the Dong Nai Province however this needs further confirmation (Abramov et al. 2013) and therefore is not mapped.
