These frogs can be found in Myanmar and western and peninsular Thailand and Peninsular Malaysia, as well as in the Andaman Islands (India).[3] They are terrestrial frogs found in primary tropical forest. Breeding takes place in forest streams where the tadpoles develop. Its conservation status is insufficiently known.[1]
