This species is only known from a series of seven specimens collected in February 1920 at a single locality on the island of Seram, Indonesia. One of the specimens was collected at 1,800 m asl.

Conservation:
The locality where the species was collected is protected – Munusela National Park. Further surveys are needed to confirm whether or not the species still exists and also to see if it occurs elsewhere in other ranges on the island. It should also be looked for on the island of Buru.
