This species is known only from the southeastern peninsula of Sulawesi, where it has been found at 300 and 1,500 m (980 and 4,920 ft) altitude. Only three specimens of this poorly understood species are known; the last were collected in 1932 at the mountain Tanke Salokko. The IUCN Red List therefore lists the species as Data Deficient.
