Population
There is no information on the population status of this species, which was described from two specimens: one adult male and one adult female.
Habitat and Ecology
The area in which this species was found supports lower montane rainforest and cloud forest, whereas the intervening valleys are extensively cultivated. Individuals were recorded on the upper surfaces of leaves of trees 1.5-2.0m above a stream in a narrow ravine at night. Eggs are presumably deposited on leaves, with the larvae then developing in streams.
