Range Description
This species occurs on northern and southern Bougainville Island, Papua New Guinea, at 700-1,000m asl.

It is a scansorial and arboreal species inhabiting rainforest. It has not been found in degraded habitats, perhaps because the habitat within its altitudinal range is still in good condition. It breeds by direct development.
Population
It is a reasonably common species.
Population Trend
Stable
Major Threats
The war in Bougainville has probably minimised potential impacts of logging and mining.
Conservation Actions
