Habitat:
This species occupies holes in rocky terrain (Smith and Xie 2008). They are characterized as rather inactive during winter (Smith and Xie 2008).
Range:
This species is endemic to China (Smith and Xie 2008). The distributional limits of this species are uncertain due to taxonomic confusion and misidentification in the field. It is known to occur in the provinces of Guizhou, Hubei, Sichuan, Guangdong, Anhui, Guangxi, Hunan, and Hainan Island (Smith and Xie 2008). Thorington and Hoffmann (2005) indicate that the distribution extends into extreme northern Viet Nam. The distribution is apparently fragmented (Smith and Xie 2008) and requires review.
Conservation:
This species occurs in Diaoluoshan, Jianfengling, Bawangling, and Jinfoshanis Nature Reserves (CSIS 2008) and may be present in additional protected areas. In China, it has been regionally Red Listed as Near Threatened nearly meeting the criteria for listing as Vulnerable A2cd+3cd (Wang and Xie 2004).
