Range Description This recently described species is known from the slopes and valleys east of the main ridge of the Wondiwoi Mountains at the base of the Wandammen Peninsula, Papua, Indonesia, from 450-800m asl. It is possible that it is also present on Yapen Island and in the Fakfak Mountains, although further studies are needed to confirm the identity of animals from these regions.
Habitat and Ecology It is found in tropical forest, where specimens were mainly found perched on the leaves of shrubs between 0.3 and 3m above the ground. Like other species in the genus, this is presumably a species that breeds by direct development.
Population This species is relatively abundant.
Population Trend unknown
Major Threats The threats to this species are not known.
Conservation Actions It might be present in Wondiwoi Nature Reserve.
Red List Status Data Deficient (DD)
Rationale Listed as Data Deficient since it has only recently been described, and there is still very little known about its extent of occurrence, area of occupancy, status and ecological requirements.
