From the IUCN Red List Species Account:

Range Description

This species is currently known only from two localities: from the vicinity of the type locality on the north-western slopes of Mount Shungol, and from Wagau about 15km east of the type locality on the eastern slope of Mount Shungol, in the Herzog Mountains at the north end of the Owen Stanley Range in Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea. It has been recorded between 750 and 1,100m asl. It might occur more widely than is
currently known, and there is no reason to believe that it is a restricted range species.

Habitat and Ecology

This inhabitant of lowland hill forest is usually found on the upper surface of leaves between 1 and 3m above the ground. Males call only at night. This is presumably a direct developing species, like other species in the genus.

Population

It is moderately common.

Population Trend

unknown

Major Threats

There are no known threats to its habitat at present

Conservation Actions

It is not currently known from any protected areas.

Red List Status

Data Deficient (DD)

Rationale

Listed as Data Deficient since it has only recently been described, and there is still very little information on its extent of occurrence, status and ecological requirements.
