Range Description

This species ranges from south-central Cameroon to northern Angola, east to central Democratic Republic of Congo. There are records from Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and recently from southwestern Central African Republic (M. Burger pers comm.).

Major Threats

It is a very adaptable species, and is unlikely to be facing any significant threat.

Conservation Actions

It probably occurs in several protected areas.

Red List Status

Least Concern (LC)
