Habitat:
This diurnal species inhabits predominantly lowlands and lower hills, but has been found up to 1,700 m asl (Thorington et al. 2012). It forages along tree trunks for insects and bark (Thorington et al. 2012).

Range:
This species is endemic to Borneo, although recent surveys suggest that the species range may extend beyond the island of Borneo to Sumatra (E. Meijaard pers. comm). It occurs also on Banggi island (Thorington and Hoffmann 2005).

Conservation:
It occurs in various protected areas but many of these may support only small populations as they may be above this species' main altitudinal range (W. Duckworth et al. pers. comm).
