Distribution.

This species is known only from the type locality, which is characterised by the highly irregular geomorphology of limestone habitat at Phu Pha Lom Forest Park in Loei Province. Based on our observations of specimens at both the forest floor and on rocks, we suggest that this species is likely inhabiting only rock crevices or walls.
