It is found in Indonesia and Malaysia. The distribution of this species is believed to be in Borneo, Bali, the Lesser Sunda Islands, and Sumba. Possibly the same or a very similar species can be found in Kon Kha Kinh and Pu Mat, Vietnam.[1]
The species, primarily dependent on forests, has undergone a 30% population decline over the last ten years, in the lesser Sundras.
