From the IUCN Red List Species Account:   Range Description This species is known only from the type locality, "Saklespur, Hassan [District]" (Rao 1937), in the Western Ghats of India, at 948m asl. Habitat and Ecology Nothing is known about its habitat or ecological preferences, though it is likely to occur in moist forest. It presumably breeds by larval development, like other members of its genus, but it is not known whether or not it requires free-standing waterbodies for breeding or whether or not it breeds in habitats such as leaf axils or tree holes instead. Population There is no information on the population status of this species, which is known only from the lost holotype. Population Trend Unknown Major Threats The major threats are not known. Conservation Actions It is not known to occur in any protected areas. Field surveys and the designation of a neotype are required before the species' range; population status and habitat requirements can be determined. Taxonomic Notes The holotype of this species is lost, and the designation of a neotype is necessary if this proves to be a valid species. Citation S.D.
