This species has a very restricted range in north-eastern Madagascar that includes the humid forest belt extending from Maroantsetra to the north-eastern Makira (Antohaka Lava forest 15 km south of the Andapa Basin), Anjanaharibe-Sud Special Reserve, and Marojejy National Park; however the precise limits of its distribution are unknown particularly in the Corridor Marojejy-Anjanaharibe Sud-Tsaratanana (COMATSA). Marojejy represents the northern limit of its known distribution, while the Andaparaty forest in Makira just north of the Antainambalana River is currently regarded as the southern limit. They are patchily distributed and occur at low densities. It is most commonly encountered at elevations between 700 and 1,875 m asl (Patel 2009, Mittermeier et al. 2010).
