It is found in [Malaysia](/source/Malaysia) and possibly [Indonesia](/source/Indonesia). Its natural [habitat](/source/Habitat) is subtropical or tropical moist lowland [forests](/source/Forest). It has been observed in two different places, one 840 metres above sea level and one between 900 and 1490 metres above sea level.[1][2]
