Geographic Range [top]

Range Description:	This species ranges from Cuc Phuong National Park in Nin Binh Province, in northern Viet Nam, south to Phong Nha-Ke Bang in Quang Binh Province and Huong Hoa Nature Reserve in Quang Tri Province, in central Viet Nam. Additional localities in northern and central Viet Nam include Ke Go Nature Reserve (in Ky Anh District, Ha Tinh Province), Huong Son Forest (in Huong Son District, also in Ha Tinh Province), and Pu Mat National Park (in Con Cuong District, Nghe An Province; Truong pers. comm.). It is also present in nearby eastern Lao People's Democratic Republic (Stuart 2005), and in Amnat-Charoen Province, north of Ubon, close to the Mekong River, in eastern Thailand (Chan-ard pers. comm.). It probably occurs more widely than current records suggest, especially in areas between known sites. It has been found up to 850 m asl.
