Habitat/Ecology. This species was found in primary or old/mature secondary forests in Singapore, typically in leaf litter. Nests were found at bases of trees.

Remarks. In one literature record, habitat was described as ‘selectively logged and regenerated primary forest’ – this can be simply and more accurately inferred as ‘secondary forest’ by our definition (see Introduction).
